Issue 11

I added a logging statement into main that prints out config.RefreshInterval and get:

2015-06-30 21:37:05 ERROR  remote_syslog.go:23 RefreshInterval: 30ns

Adding another logging statement into SetYAML suggests it never gets called. I think we're using a slightly different version of the YAML lib, but in case it's useful, this comment is present in the current src.

This was the config:

files:
  - /home/leon/test.log
destination:
  host: HOST.papertrailapp.com
  port: PORT
  protocol: tls
new_file_check_interval: 30

I will expand the config test to include checking loaded values. It only ensures the CLI overrides are working correctly now.

[joelreymont]

Fixed

Thanks!

Heh, this is an interesting one. The configfile switch won't do anything because we've already loaded the config.

Useful later, perhaps, when we support sending the -HUP signal?

This is definitely something we'll have to fix before merging. Many customers have manually specified a config file location in production environments, particularly when running multiple instances of r_s2 with different hostnames. We also use it in our example init.d script.

Oh, yeah, this resolves issue #11
