As I understand it, logger allows writing to syslog which is not what I want. My script checks if ADSL is up and if not writes to a text file so that any user can check this small file and not have to search throuh a large syslog. I know there must be lots of tools to do this more elegantly, but I was looking for a **quick and dirty** solution. And, aside from the permission problem, which as I already wrote, I found a way around, it works fine.

I still don't agree, because as I wrote before, the change in permission occurs at **seemingly** random intervals (not when logrotate runs) and also changes permission of all the files in the /var/log/mylogs directory. -- Shlomo Solomon http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Sent by KMail (KDE 3.0.3) on LINUX Mandrake 9.0 ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
