Paul, MY SBC version of linux doesn't run syslog, as there are a limited number of write cycles a flash gets, and it would be a waste to use those on syslog messages. So my suggestion is as follows: change the calls to syslog to something like owfs_syslog, and pass the same arguements. Then all you do is sed or perl to replace all the calls in one shot, then add a new subroutine. My experience is to make a routine with each level of message and one for the extra arg that syslog wants. Then have them call the underlying routine with the message as an arg. In there, you can check the debug flag and decide whether to syslog it, log it to a file, send it to stdout/stderr... Those choices come from the command line, with the default being the same operation people get today. If you add the debug level check in here from the start, it will make adding more messaging very easy, just use sprintf to build a string, then pass that to the level of message you want. I could put this together, but since it would impact so many files it makes more sense for someone "in the action" to add this. If you need any more specifics on how to do this, give me a shout. Once I get past the deadline I'm working on (hopefully less than a month,) I can start looking at adding the other levels of messaging. thanks so much, jerry Jerry Scharf laguna way consulting ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
