Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2008-10-29 00:40:26 MSK
klogd-1.4.1-alt28

As https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17250 has shown, failed reconnects of klogd (after syslogd restart) stay completely unnoticed for the administrator.

(I have been living with this problem for years.)

I suggest that a failed reconnect should be reported. (Even if https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17716 is implemented, there may be other reasons for a failure, and this should be reported.)

Perhaps the most effective way would be to exit. Then, the exit will be noticed from outside, and in such cases, the init-script (or monit) could try to restart the daemon and send a message to syslog or whereever. (Actually, in my case, a restart would even resurrect klogd.)

В 4.1/branch исправления не будут вноситься уже технически (заглушена очередь на сборку), поэтому прошу ошибки, актуальные для sisyphus/p7/t7, перевесить на текущие ветки или сизиф.
