I'm looking for a way to turn message buffering on/off. If I type

> killall USR1 metalog
> USR1: no process killed

then message buffering is turned off, but I cannot turn it back on with

> killall USR2 metalog
> USR2: no process killed
> metalog: no process killed

Furthur USR1 signals sent to metalog now give a similar output as for USR2 signals:

> USR1: no process killed
> metalog: no process killed <-- notice this line

Also, when I reboot/poweroff after a USR1 signal has been sent I get:

[!!] unable to stop metalog

among the shutdown messages (stopping daemons, deactivating swap etc).

Any tips would be hugely appreciated.

It should be:
Code:
killall -USR1 metalog
(You're forgetting the hyphen).

Moving to Other Things Gentoo, since it's not a networking or security issue.
