https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D232838 Bug ID: 232838 Summary: syslogd(8) should auto-reload config files when they change Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: yuri@freebsd.org Currently syslogd(8) doesn't reload its config files when they change. Reasons for the change: 1. When new packages are installed and place new config files, these files aren't automatically enabled which can always be used as an argument against even using such config files, like it was done in this bug: bug#232813. 2. newsyslog(8) does automatically reload its configuration when it changes, but syslogd(8) doesn't, which isn't logical because they work in the same f= ield (manage logs). So it appears that it would be much more natural and convenient if syslog(8) would auto-load/unload config files when they are added/installed/uninstall= ed. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
