CSF Reports "Neither syslog nor rsyslog appear to be running"

[rbreault]

I'm not sure why, but CSF now reports that "Neither syslog nor rsyslog appear to be running"... We are running rsyslog which is running:

Code: Select all

[root /]# service rsyslog status
rsyslogd (pid  13035) is running...
[root /]#

Is CSF looking for something else when checking?

The system check iterates through the PID's in /proc/PID/ and checks whether the /proc/PID/exe is a symlink to syslogd or rsyslogd to see if it is running. So, for example, if rsyslogs is a (deleted) process this check will fail until rsyslogd is restarted.
