Hallo David! > syslogd - can it be bent to my purpose in any way? Why do you want do bent everything? Why don't you do/use the things the way it is intended?
As soon as syslogd is started you can send every log information you like to the system log. That is, what it is for, to log the process and status information for later retrieval. Use ... logger -t TAGNAME "Your message" ... to send your information from within shell scripts to syslogd or use the syslog() function within C programs. The messages are written by syslogd to a bunch of message files (that is rotated, to avoid overflowing your available space). And from there your messages can simply be retrieved later on ... grep TAGNAME MESSAGE_FILE_NAME That's all you need to log information and retrieve it later for examination. What's wrong with this way to do this message logging? You do not need seperate logging processes hanging around. A single one does it. You just need to learn how to use the existing tools (IMHO). -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
