You can run rsyslog interactively, that's the key to a useful testing environment. In my development environment, I have a couple of conf files, and a shell script that starts rsyslogd in a variety of test settings (don't forget about running valgrind on it frequently, it safes you a lot of time ;)). I am not at my devel machine right now, but the core command looks something like cp "all plugins" runtime/.libs # or so ./tools/rsyslogd -dn -c 4 -f myconf.conf -M runtime/.libs ... Maybe some more... Then you run rsyslogd for your test, and press ctl-c when you are done. My cycle is Loop edit make run-script End Loop Does this help? Oh, and I have disabled the regular rsyslogd on that devel box. If you don't do, you probably need to add some extra quirks to it. I have also begun to work on some tcl-based tests yesterday, hope to have them in git mid next week. Rainer > > > Let me know what you think (and when you have time). > > I'm already on it.
