Hi Matthew,
The configuration is:
*.emerg -/var/log/messages
& |/dev/xconsole
but I get the following error when restart the rsyslog:
rsyslogd-2039: Could not open output pipe '/dev/xconsole'
There are other ideia for it?
Thanks

Hi Cilmar,
According to the rsyslog docs (hint, hint ;)), you need to put the
second action on the next line and precede it with an ampersand (&).
You'll also need the pipe (|) (not a separator; it's for writing to
FIFOs) with /dev/xconsole for it to work. Something like:
kern.* -/var/log/message,
& |/dev/xconsole
Also, for Ubuntu (I just tested this on my Ubuntu install), you may
have to create /dev/xconsole before using the xconsole command:

I did on Ubuntu 11.10.
