-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, i think you misunderstood my question :o) I want to write into a NAMED pipe, not to pipe into a programm. My goal is that apache writes into the named pipe and syslog-ng reads from it, so i can send the logs to another host. I made a workaround shellscript, which reads from stdin and writes into the named pipe, but this is suboptimal, as the logs then seem to come from the shellscript and not from apache .. greets Harry Bill Jones schrieb: > On 5/13/06, Harry Rüter <harry_rueter@xxxxxx> wrote: > >> i was trying to write logs into a named pipe, >> but had i no success (httpd-2.0.54). >> >> httpd is waiting/blocking forever and must be killed ... > > It works fine for me -- what format are you using?
