Hi, I'm trying to solve another problem so I'm modifying the syslogd.conf file, but after the changes have been made, I try to restart the syslog with

/etc/init.d/sysklogd restart

and I got the messaged "command not found"

I'm doing this as root, so I don't think it's about permissions

I'm using Debian 3.1 r2

Thanks

Command not found usually indicates a typo or a package that isn't installed. In this case, my offhand guess would be a typo. By using the TAB auto-complete built into Bash you can save yourself from this problem. It may be that /etc/init.d/sysklogd is NOT the correct call. If you:
And
ls
You can see what is there to restart. It may be sysklog or syslogd or something else entirely. I assume you are following instructions from some source, it may assume you have a specific package installed that you don't. Check the documentation a bit.

Good luck!

Cool

Why not just send it HUP ???.
syslogd will (should) just restart.
