[gentoo-user] syslog-ng keeps restarting every few minutes

[William Kenworthy]

Hi,

    Some years ago I built up a 32 bit raspberry pi gentoo userland and
now have 8 copies of it running on various devices - all with the same
problem.

Syslog-ng is restarting every few minutes! I have been able to narrow it
down to a process named "supervise" as after killing it syslog-ng
settles down.

I cant find where this process is configured or run from - has anyone
come across this before?

Is this related? 

https://untroubled.org/daemontools-encore/supervise.8.html

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man8/supervise.8.html

While both seem to be the same, maybe one will give a clue as to where
it came from, what installed the creature and how to get rid of it. 

Hope that helps.

Do you have app-admin/supervisor installed ?
