 |
|
ok well when i first built this system i accidentally emerged syslog-ng, instead of metalog
so then i
#rc-update del syslog-ng default
#emerge unmerge syslog-ng
#emerge metalog
#rc-update add metalog default
but now whenever i do pretty much anything (emerging/rc-update,etc-update, etc)
it will give me this
*Service 'syslog-ng' already provide 'logger'!;
*Not adding service 'metalog'..
how can i take care of th is?
thanks |

look in /etc/init.d/ to see if the syslog-ng file is still there, if it is, i think you need to remove it since this isn't done even if you unmerge the package.
further, the command "rc-update show" shows all rc-scripts and their current runlevel (if any).
good luck!

it contains all the runscripts for services currently installed. the syslog application for example is a service started via a runscript in that directory.
you can control individual services by running:
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/<script> start|stop|restart |
but usually these scripts are called at boot-time/shutdown i.e. different runlevels and you just have to set them up using the fc-update command.
other useful commands for the runscripts is "rc-status" that lists all currently running services.
