25.4.2. Compatibility with sysklogd
The compatibility mode specified via the
-c
option exists in rsyslog version 5 but not in version 7. Also, the sysklogd-style command-line options are deprecated and configuring rsyslog through these command-line options should be avoided. However, you can use several templates and directives to configure rsyslogd
to emulate sysklogd-like behavior.
For more information on various
rsyslogd
options, see the rsyslogd(8)
manual page.
