I have a datafile: which contains: (hello.txt) hello hello hello hello hello hello
When I run my perl script on ‘cli’ I use: cat hello.txt | /usr/local/bin/hello2goodbye.pl Output is: goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye I did run it on the “CLI” with the requrested modification to see if I would get output on a file, which I do if I run via cli (same was as above) only the output is redirected to the appropriate log file, in unmodified form. When I run via the rsyslog command: logger -f hello.txt I see no output. Perhaps I am testing wrong? Logger works fine until I put in the config lines to invoke mmexternal, and then no logs for ANYTHING. I did run debug mode, and noticed some stuff happening ,but nothing about anything be passed to the skeleton progarm with the modification in it. Is LOGGER a terrible way to test?
