Activate the Changes

For the syslogd configuration updates to take effect, stop the syslog daemon and restart it from the root ID.

Follow these steps:

1. Stop the syslog daemon by entering the following command:

   kill ‑15 `cat /etc/syslog.pid`
   

2. Restart the syslog daemon by entering the following command:

   /usr/sbin/syslogd ‑f /etc/syslogd.conf
   

   where /etc/syslogd.conf is the name of the syslogd configuration file.
