[rsyslog] abort case

[Rainer Gerhards]

[going back to the list with Lorenzo's permission]

Hi Lorenzo,

finally... I did not realize that the queue is running in direct mode, but now I saw it and can reproduce a failure. That should make things much better. Anyhow, it is very unusual that the main message queue runs in direct mode, so I guess it is a side-effect of a config file. In those files you sent me, I don't see it, but I see a .d directory is included. May there be something? In any case, I hope I will be able to fix the bug now that I can reproduce it.

Looks like a productive day today :)

Thanks for your persistence,
Rainer
