Re: Log to syslog?

["Paul Kudla (SCOM.CA Internet)" <paul@xxxxxxx>]

    I have worked on this
      issue for over ten years
      
      unitil apache will redirect to syslog properly then you need to do
      the workarounds
      
      no other options to my knowledge

Happy Tuesday !!!
Thanks - paul
