Build and boot core-image-sato with systemd DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd" VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd" 2. edit /etc/syslog-startup.conf (which is actully a link to /etc/syslog-startup.conf.busybox and change LOGFILE from /var/log/messages to something else, e.g /var/log/test 3. systemctl restart syslog.service 4. /var/log/test should be created but it isn't What happens here is that the service file just starts /sbin/syslog -n, and syslog seems to ignore it's startup file entirely. The sysvinit startup script was actually sourcing and parsing /etc/syslog-startup.conf and passwd the values as arguments to syslog, the systemd service file just starts it. 34647 1 Qi.Chen 2013-07-17 15:32:13 +0000 A related bug. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4837 //Chen Qi 35454 2 Qi.Chen 2013-08-07 08:45:30 +0000 sysvinit and systemd have different ideas about configuration files (or environment files in systemd), so using the same one for both is not appropriate. Remove the 'syslog-startup.conf' file if 'sysvinit' is not in DISTRO_FEATURES. //Chen Qi 35601 3 Qi.Chen 2013-08-13 05:23:51 +0000 merged into poky/master Commit: 89f62147a61108b4be40001e1fbe3be33bacf00b URL: http://git.openembedded.org/?p=openembedded-core.git&a=commit;h=89f62147a61108b4be40001e1fbe3be33bacf00b 37687 4 sstncr 2013-10-07 13:39:57 +0000 Okay, Verified.
