Hi Bogdan, i don't think this is a good way to solve this. An easy way to seperate the log messages generated from the script to the ones from the server would be just to add a prefix. Ok, i'll try to give each log levels a meaning: DBG: used only for debugging, don't need to be understandable from users, provide an insight into the inner working of the server, e.g. memory management, parsing, state of internal module function INFO: used for informational messages that are emmited during normal operation, should be understandable from users, to give an indicator about the performed operations of the server, e.g. proceeded messages, routing descisions, startup informations NOTICE: used for informational messages that are generated during abnormal, but not critical operation conditions WARN: used for warning messages that are emmited during abnormal and less critical operation conditions, for example a file could not found and an empty module configuration will be used, a required part of a message is missing and the code tries to continue with some degration ERR: used for error messages that clearly indicates a problem, but this could be handled in the server, e.g. memory allocation error, failure to access the database, network error CRIT: used for critical messages that clearly indicates a problem, which could not be easily handled in the server ALERT: used for conditions which could be handled from the server, and will lead to a shutdown or crash. I think perhaps one or two levels are superfluos here. NOTICE is not that much used, and i had a hard time to seperate this from the INFO and WARN. ALERT is also not much used, and i also think the existing callers could just use the CRIT level. What do you think, perhaps this is something for 1.5?
