--- Begin Message ---Package: sysklogd Version: 1.4.1-14 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi! I patched syslogd to to be able to change the pid-file from the command line, so I can run one syslog-process for listening on the network and one for handling the local logging. Then, after making it work, I discovered how to change the logging facility of the DSL-router, so it was all just a waste of time. Anyway, maybe someone else is interested, so here is the patch. Note: if you really want to run two syslog processes, you should add a --pidfile option to the "start-stop-daemon --start"-lines in /etc/init.d/sysklogd, otherwise "/etc/init.d/sysklogd restart" will stop but not restart your real syslog. See bug #211858. I installed it and it seems to run smoothly, but no heavy testing was done.
