Activate the Changes

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

To activate the changes

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.
