Please have a look at the wikipage http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FCNewInit/Initscripts and change your initscripts to comply with the LSB standard. Especially check the exit status and add a LSB Header. E.g. starting a service should return with 0, if the service is already running and stopping a stopped service should also return with 0. Also check, if your service has to be _on_ per default, and turn it off in the old chkconfig line, if not. Thank you.
Greetings: I have been meaning to look into this for a long time, and finally got around to it, so I am adding my comments here, because I think that the syslog-ng initscript (/etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog-ng) is faulty: every time I shut-down or reboot my system or (re)start syslog-ng, I receive an error message something like "Stopping syslog-ng [FAILED]". I have seen this same message on every shut-down/reboot/restart for almost a year. No other service returns such an error. The only obvious thing that I see is that in /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog-ng, "retval" is lowercase, whereas it is uppercase in other initscripts; but I don't know enough about this stuff to know for sure if this is a problem, and I'd rather not play with it to find out (I have not edited/altered the script). Please investigate.

Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported during the development of Fedora 8. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are changing the version of this bug to '8'. If this bug still exists in rawhide, please change the version back to rawhide. (If you're unable to change the bug's version, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help and we apologize for the interruption. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Since rsyslog appears to be the "official" choice to replace syslogd, and is incompatible/conflicts with syslog-ng, I personally see little point in keeping this bug open - nor even for continuing to offer syslog-ng as a package for Fedora for that matter. Thanx and regards, VJSchiavoni
syslog-ng is a very active project and has a large user base. Removing it from Fedora would be a mistake. The conflicts with rsyslog are due to double log rotation (bug#429958). I'm currently working on this for the next package release.
Just note from your friendly bug triager -- correct status of the bug according to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow is ASSIGNED. Please, correct this bug to the right state, if I am wrong.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
