How is a batch file start of syslogd going to stop it from reading the config'd value of the spool folder. Will it accept a folder name at startup from the command line? Or does the batch file have to do some ugly thing like importing a registry snippet of the spool file location before running syslogd then re-importing a correct snippet of the spool location and restarting all of the other services using 'net' commands? Sorry for being so dense -- I'm more comfortable in linux (where things like log file locations are generally easily configurable in a text file -- like Declude JM is now <grin>). -- Gerald V.
