>Description:


Now "status" and "restart" command will not work correctly in exilog.sh rc script. This is because of 2 reasons:
1) By default exilog daemon change process name, so rc.subr functions dont beleive that exilog process is a owner of the pidfile. This can be changed in the exilog.conf ('use_pretty_names' => 'no')
2) exilog_agent.pl is a perl script, so we need to add string command_interpreter=/usr/bin/perl. 



>How-To-Repeat:


run 
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exilog.sh start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exilog.sh status
you will get a message "exilog is not running"
