Creating the sysklogd script

Create a new file /etc/init.d/sysklogd containing the following:



#!/bin/sh
# Begin /etc/init.d/sysklogd

source /etc/init.d/functions

case "$1" in
        start)
                echo -n "Starting system log daemon..."
                loadproc /usr/sbin/syslogd -m 0

                echo -n "Starting kernel log daemon..."
                loadproc /usr/sbin/klogd
                ;;

        stop)
                echo -n "Stopping kernel log daemon..."
                killproc klogd

                echo -n "Stopping system log daemon..."
                killproc syslogd
                ;;

        reload)
        echo -n "Reloading system log daemon configuration file..."
                reloadproc syslogd -1
                ;;

        restart)
                $0 stop
                sleep 1
                $0 start
                ;;

        status)
                statusproc /usr/sbin/syslogd
                statusproc /usr/sbin/klogd
                ;;

        *)
                echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|reload|restart|status}"
                exit 1
        ;;
