Environment: SUSE 10.3
I made a configuration change in '/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf' file in a server.
An article found on web says "After the change '/etc/init.d/syslog-ng' should be restarted". But there is no 'syslog-ng' in /etc/init.d directory.
What is syslog-ng or a different I should restart to make this change effective?
Thanks
/etc/init.d/syslog is common to syslog and its alternatives syslog-ng and rsyslog
When I ran this restart command I got below messages. Is this normal or something wrong?
Thanks,
# /etc/init.d/syslog restart

If the syslog-ng process is running then it has worked, and you can ignore this message.
If you want to get rid of the message, add a user "news" as follows:
useradd -c "News system" -d /etc/news -g 13 -u 9 -s /bin/bash news
Alternatively you can comment the "news" lines in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.
useradd -c "News system" -d /etc/news -g 13 -u 9 -s /bin/bash news
I'd like to add a user 'news'. My question is what could be "News system"?
Is it a server name or ip address?
Could you explain more?
I appreciate your taking time to answer my questions.

The command MadeInGermany worked.
Thank you
