When I run syslog -s hello http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/13888/why-is-syslog-not-logging-where-i-tell-it-to-log I get the message showing up in /var/log/message. I tried restarting syslog using launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist ps -x | grep [s]yslog to check that syslog is not running, then launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist to restart. I checked /etc/syslog.conf to make sure it doesn't change, and it doesn't. Still I get messages logged to /var/log/message. Is there another place to set this? macos share|improve this question edited Nov 10 '15 at 22:59 Greg 1,005712 asked May 10 '11 at 21:20 user6385 613 /etc/asl.conf is also used to configure syslogd, but the storage files it specifies are not normal “plain text” log files. Do you perhaps have an embedded NUL character before the last s in your syslog.conf line? I can’t really imagine how it would happen “naturally”, but I was able to reproduce something similar with the line *.* /tmp/message<00>s (where the <00> is actually a single NUL character instead of the literal four displayed). –Chris Johnsen May 10 '11 at 22:37 Thanks, I was unaware of asl.conf. The actual problem was a newline, so you were close. –user638

I'm looking for the canonical equivalent to Debian's invoke-rc.d apache2 restart. EDIT: The question is about launchd controlled services in general, launchctl error unloading not specifically Apache (-which was simply an example). mac-osx service osx-leopard launchd share|improve this question edited Jul 15 '14 at 10:26 Community♦ 1 asked Oct 26 '10 at 12:21 conny 7341814 From the answers so far, is correct to assume there is no single launchctl command to restart a service? –JS. Aug 25 at 20:09 add a comment| 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote 101 down vote accepted Hi launchctl(8) is your friend. Just keep in mind that some of the services (sshd for example) are disabled in the configuration file so you will need to use the '-w'switch when loading them. Here is a sshd example: $sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist You can stop the service using the 'unload' subcommand. $sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist To list the services, as you might have already guessed use the 'list' subcommand ;) have fun, n share|improve this answer answered Oct 26 '10 at 14:00 nayden 1,436188 7 In addition, launchctl list does not complain but does not show everything, sudo launchctl list is needed for that. –conny Oct 26 '10 at 16:17 6 It's not that it doesn't show everything, it shows a completely different list. When you run launchctl as a normal user, it shows/manages LaunchAgents
