Anyone have syslog-ng rc.d startup script?

[billbert]

Thanks if you can help.
I've done a bit of googling on upgrading to systemd, but am afraid I'll break the whole system.
If anyone can help, great! Thanks!

Did you look back in the git history for the PKGBUILD of interest? Ah, the power of git.

Alternatively, browse the ARM (not Arch ARM but the A.R.M. = Arch Rollback Machine --> http://arm.konnichi.com/).

you rockstar
I must be having an acronym breakdown
thanks brother.

on an aside, do you have any tips on getting up and running with systemd on arm?

[graysky]

Should be no different than on i686 or x86_64 in principal.

My personal policy is to backup the system before doing something major.

1) Boot to a live environment or to a linux workstation.
2) Mount your SD card and tar it up.

This may be outdated now but I just noticed my Pogoplug hasn't been logging all weekend. Here's the syslog-ng rc.d file I pulled from a very old backup (December 2012). I didn't notice the problem until I rebooted my Pogoplug last Friday. Having not looked at the changelog notes on syslog-ng and just going off of my pacman log, I suspect the 3.4.1-2 update removed the initscript.

systemd uses journalctrl afaik, but you can use both at the same time: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy ... ith_syslog

I simply searched the forums for "syslog-ng rc.d" seeing if anyone had posted the script before I went digging through backups. I have a Pogoplug v3 (and thus I'm in the wrong folder). The version of Arch we're running can not be upgraded to the 3.* Linux kernel, thus we can not run systemd with any form of stability.

I appreciate the knowledge however.

Yes I am aware of the V3 problems. Just thought since you posted it this section it was a V2. Generally, you can find rc.d scripts in the git history of packages: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit ... 8b4540b84e and more specifically https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit ... a0811ffbfa
