 .SH NAME

 rsyslogd \- reliable and extended syslogd 

 .SH SYNOPSIS

 unix domain sockets enables this utility to support both local

 and remote logging.

-.B Note that this version of rsyslog ships with extensive documentation in html format.

-This is provided in the ./doc subdirectory and probably

-in a separate package if you installed rsyslog via a packaging system.

 To use rsyslog's advanced features, you

 .B need

 basic aspects of operation.

-.B For details and configuration examples, see the rsyslog.conf (5)

-.BR Rsyslogd (8)

+.BR rsyslogd (1M)

 is derived from the sysklogd package which in turn is derived from the

 stock BSD sources.

 Avoid auto-backgrounding.  This is needed especially if the

 .B rsyslogd

 is started and controlled by

-.BR init (8).

 .TP

 .B "\-N " "level"

 Do a coNfig check. Do NOT run in regular mode, just check configuration

 not specifying the -N option at all (so this makes limited sense) and

 1 actually activates the code. Later, higher levels will mean more

 verbosity (this is a forward-compatibility option).

 .BI "\-q " "add hostname if DNS fails during ACL processing"

 During ACL processing, hostnames are resolved to IP addresses for

 operation and should only be done when actually necessary. Actually, it is

 a rsyslgod stop immediately followed by a restart. Future versions will remove

 this restart functionality of HUP (it will go away in v5). So it is advised to use

-HUP only for closing files, and a "real restart" (e.g. /etc/rc.d/rsyslogd restart)

+The rsyslog instance of the system-log service is not enabled by default.

+To enable it, first "svcadm disable svc:/system/system-log:default", then

+"svcadm enable svc:/system/system-log:rsyslog".  If you wish to enable log

+rotation, then add each file referenced in

+.BR rsyslog.conf(4)

+to /etc/logadm.conf.
