Assuming the number of syslog logging scripts is fairly small (a few for daemons in an anticipated list, and perhaps one for the rest; I think this scheme is actually already in use by most syslog users), what about setting up a group of s6-log consumer services, and use a chainloading program (akin to s6-tcpserver-access) with s6-ipcserver to dynamically decide which consumer to connect to (by interacting with s6rc-fdholder)?
Yes, that sounds good. Also, it feels similar to something I'm proto-thinking about for instanced services ; I need to dwell on it more, to see whether there are more common points. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to work on it at the moment. -- Laurent
