supervision on suse

[Payal Rathod]

Hi,
Anybody can share tips on getting runit run on suse. When I try,
# chkconfig --del syslog
insserv: Service syslog has to be enabled for service cron
insserv: Service syslog has to be enabled for service named
insserv: exiting now!
/sbin/insserv failed, exit code 1
syslog                    0:off  1:off  2:on   3:on   4:off  5:on   
6:off

Any ideas on getting it running?
With warm regards,
-Payal

Do not use chkconfig, as it claims to know better than you whether syslog 
should be started by SysV init. Just remove the S*syslog symlinks in 
/etc/rc[1235].d, and make sure that you have a syslog service running 
under runsv.

Is your use of chkconfig to shut down non-supervised syslog the only 
problem you are having? You mentioned runit, but I don't see anything 
specific in your question about runit.

I will try that.

You can kick me. I mistook this list for the socklog list. I meant to 
replace syslog with socklog. Believe it or not, but I always have 
trouble remembering which package of Gerrit does what, though they 
are very nice. I just cannot co-relate thier names to their tasks :)
