FreeBSD beast.hill.hom 4.3-RC FreeBSD 4.3-RC #1: Thu Mar 29 23:30:04 EST 2001 ocipio@beast.hill.hom:/usr/src/sys/compile/BEAST i386
>Description:
1.) If a syslogd process is already running when you try to start another,
the second exits without a friendly message
(root@beast /etc/defaults) /usr/sbin/syslogd -s
(root@beast /etc/defaults) /usr/sbin/syslogd -s
syslogd: child pid 35283 exited with return code 1
2.) killall -9 syslogd. The next time you start syslogd, it exits with a
return code of 1.
(root@beast /etc) /usr/sbin/syslogd -s
(root@beast /etc) killall -9 syslogd
(root@beast /etc) /usr/sbin/syslogd -s
syslogd: child pid 35273 exited with return code 1
(root@beast /etc) /usr/sbin/syslogd -s
(root@beast /etc)
>How-To-Repeat:
see description
>Fix:
If syslogd is already running, print a friendly error message saying that it is.
As with the `kill -9` bug, I am not sure why it exits the next time you start it.
