For some reason I have a hard time wrapping my head around how OS X handles things like init, cron, and "normal" daemon maint. Too many years spent doing *nix work.

How do I configure syslogd on a 10.6 OS X box to send logs to a syslog server?

was a simple matter of adding:

*.*       @remote_ip

to /etc/syslog.conf

Then issuing

launchctl stop com.apple.syslogd
launchctl start com.apple.syslogd

sigh whatever happened to /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslogd restart. . .

@skarface: Apple replaced cron and init with launchd in Mac OS X 10.4 (developer.apple.com/macosx/launchd.html). It's really not that bad at all once you get to know it. – Chealion Mar 12 '10 at 21:10
