10.5: One fix for a runaway syslogd process
Authored by: warwickt on Feb 14, '08 03:07:05AM

since 10.5.2 update = syslogd 140% (on 8 core)... fixed as .

.. some symptoms are
• console.app unable to access.. presumed writing tonnes of junk to syslog.

• as per previous poster used 'sudo launchctl unload
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist' to shutdown sysdlogd.

• then looked into syslog: msgs .. thousands ... of " dd/mon/yy tttt /Library/PreferencePanes/Apple Qmaster.prefPane/Contents/Resources/QmasterStatusMenu.app/Contents/MacOS/QmasterStatusMenu[233] dnssd_clientstub DNSServiceProcessResult called with DNSServiceRef with no ProcessReply function "

• QMASTER was issuing these.... . used 'system preferences"/apple qmaster/RESET then
• purged /var/spool/qmaster

has rectified syslogd situation for me.
