Thanks ... interesting. This certainly looks interesting ... will have to give 
it a whirl.

The really nice thing about using the syslog mechanism is that all your 
permissions and log file ownership is easy (any system user can write to the 
log) whereas if you are just >> to a file then you sometimes have to run all 
the batch processes as www-data (apache) which sometimes makes me a touch 
uncomfortable. And the remote logging stuff is quite handy in some cases.

cheers.
