syslogd: exiting on signal 15 - exit signals

syslogd: exiting on signal 15 - exit signals

Post by Andrew Heat » Fri, 21 Aug 1998 04:00:00



I'm looking for a list of signals in the FreeBSD kernel, as the message
syslogd: exiting on signal 15 is all I am getting before a system
shutdown.

I need to find out what this error is, how to detect what is causing the
error, and how to fix it.

Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance

Drew

    Normally when you shutdown the system, the system will kill all
processes by sending SIGTERM (signal number 15). This message
from syslogd is an informative only saying that right after that point there
will be no more logging from syslogd.
    You can find out the listing of signal by using command "kill -l".

This is not an error, just the system logger reporting it
got a signal 15 (SIGTERM) which is sent out by the system
to all running processes to shut them down.

1. syslogd exiting on signal 15

If I have these two lines lin /etc/hosts:

    127.0.0.1   localhost
    0.0.0.0     spirit

then my boot process seems to hang for about 60 seconds when it gets to:

    /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q 15m

and I see these messages:

    sendmail[110]: My unqualified host name (spirit) unknown;
                   sleeping for retry
    sendmail[110]: unable to qualify my own domain name (spirit) --
                   using short name

but everything runs fine after that.  If I run ppp-on, I see the expected
messages in the ppp log file.

However, if I have these two lines in /etc/hosts:

    127.0.0.1   localhost
    # 0.0.0.0   spirit

then it zooms through the sendmail startup at boot time, but it
seems to hang for a few seconds when it is starting syslogd, and I
see a message in the log file about "syslogd exiting on signal 15",
and when I run ppp-on, the ppp log file does not get updated.

QUESTION: what do I have to do to to /etc/hosts to keep my syslogd
happy and not "stall" when sendmail is started up a boot time?

I am working on a Toshiba T4700 laptop that is not on a network
unless I modem-in to my internet provider.  My /etc/HOSTNAME file just
contains the single word "spirit".
