openSUSE Forums: Replacing syslog-ng with rsyslog

Replacing syslog-ng with rsyslog Jan 28th 2013, 17:35 I have a cluster of OpenSuSe 12.2 servers running Xen. They all have VMs running on them, and some of them use local storage (Makes migrating the VMs off and rebooting out of the question) I want to use rsyslog instead of syslog-ng. I have tried uninstalling syslog-ng and installing rsyslog (compiled from source due to customizations) When I try running "service syslog status" It is always trying to use /sbin/syslog-ng I want it to use /sbin/rsyslog instead. I edited /etc/sysconfig/syslog through YaST and manually set rsyslog as the syslog daemon, but it still does not take effect when I try to restart syslog it still trys to use /sbin/syslog-ng instead. As soon as I reboot the server rsyslog starts up and everything works the way it is supposed to, and this worked for the servers without local storage, but the ones with local storage are in production and cannot be shutdown. Is there any way I can force the OS to re-detect the settings in /etc/sysconfig/syslog? I have also tried running SuSEconfig with no luck. Thanks in advance,
