You need to add an entry for rgmanager in /etc/syslog.conf local4.* /var/log/rgmanager and instruct rgmanager to use the above facility (local4) in /etc/cluster/cluster.conf <rm log_facility="local4" log_level="7"> 2010/8/24 Ofer Inbar <cos@xxxxxxxxx>: > I'm setting up a custom service under RHCS on 5.3, for which I'm using > custom resource agent script developed by me and a coworker.
