After sysklogd upgrading I have error message on sysklogd stop : ==== [root@on ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog stop Shutting down kernel logger: klogd kill: (1191) - No such pid Shutting down system logger: syslogd [root@on ~]# ==== The small research shows /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions : ==== # TERM first, then KILL if not dead kill -TERM $pid usleep 100000 if ps h $pid >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then sleep 3 kill -KILL $pid ===== The new "sysklogd-1.3.31-1.5" (from updates) dies VERY slow on SIGTERM >100000 and second KILL can't find this PID. Old "sysklogd-1.3-26" was OK.
In testing here, we cannot reproduce this. Sorry.
