#!/bin/sh # Sample startup script for rsyslogd on FreeBSD. # It worked on my machine, but this does not necessarily # mean it works on all machines - it's not thouroughly # tested. Please note that it may also work on other # BSD variants, too. # # As of this writing, there was an issue with the mysql client # library on startup. If compiled with MySQL support, rsyslogd # would not necessarily start correctly but could eventually # die with a "mysql client libary not found" (or similar) # message. I do not know its cause neither the cure. If you # have one, let me know. # # ATTENTION: you need also to change the /etc/rc.config file # and disable stock syslogd and then enable rsyslogd! # # rgerhards 2005-08-09 # # PROVIDE: rsyslogd # REQUIRE: mountcritremote cleanvar # BEFORE: SERVERS . /etc/rc.subr name="rsyslogd" rcvar=`set_rcvar` pidfile="/var/run/rsyslogd.pid" command="/usr/sbin/${name}" required_files="/etc/rsyslog.conf" start_precmd="rsyslogd_precmd" extra_commands="reload" _sockfile="/var/run/rsyslogd.sockets" evalargs="rc_flags=\"\`set_socketlist\` \$rc_flags\"" altlog_proglist="named" rsyslogd_precmd() { # Transitional symlink for old binaries # if [ ! -L /dev/log ]; then ln -sf /var/run/log /dev/log fi rm -f /var/run/log # Create default list of syslog sockets to watch # ( umask 022 ; > $_sockfile ) # If running named(8) or ntpd(8) chrooted, added appropriate # syslog socket to list of sockets to watch. # for _l in $altlog_proglist; do eval _ldir=\$${_l}_chrootdir if checkyesno `set_rcvar $_l` && [ -n "$_ldir" ]; then echo "${_ldir}/var/run/log" >> $_sockfile fi done # If other sockets have been provided, change run_rc_command()'s # internal copy of $rsyslogd_flags to force use of specific # rsyslogd sockets. # if [ -s $_sockfile ]; then echo "/var/run/log" >> $_sockfile eval $evalargs fi return 0 } set_socketlist() { _socketargs= for _s in `cat $_sockfile | tr '\n' ' '` ; do _socketargs="-l $_s $_socketargs" done echo $_socketargs } load_rc_config $name run_rc_command "$1"
