Hi Mayur, Ubuntu uses upstart <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpstartHowto> to keep rsyslog running. If you want read/change the settings, you can edit /etc/init/rsyslog.conf
When you start rsyslog manually (via running `rsyslogd`), this is independent from the upstart job, which you can manage with `start/stop rsyslog`. So if you want to use the newly installed rsyslog version, make sure that the upstart job (see the exec command in /etc/init/rsyslog.conf) uses your new rsyslogd binary (you can check its version by running `rsyslogd -v`). If you want to start rsyslog manually, make sure the upstart job is stopped, then start it manually with `rsyslogd`. You can keep it in foreground by adding -n, and you can see the debug output by adding -d. I hope this helps.
