Create a new file /etc/init.d/sysklogd containing the following:

cat > sysklogd << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
# Begin /etc/init.d/sysklogd

#
# Include the functions declared in the /etc/init.d/functions file
#

source /etc/init.d/functions

                loadproc /usr/sbin/syslogd -m 0

                echo -n "Starting kernel log daemon..."
                loadproc /usr/sbin/klogd
                ;;

        stop)
                echo -n "Stopping kernel log daemon..."
                killproc klogd

                killproc syslogd
                ;;

        reload)

                reloadproc syslogd 1

                ;;

        status)
                statusproc /usr/sbin/syslogd

        *)
                echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|reload|restart|status}"
                exit 1
