We have "tail -f" running over logfiles, that sends its output to remote syslog machine via "logger" program which sends it to syslog. (I know this is not the most reliable or effective way, but currently we don't have anything better). Another way is sending logfiles directly via pipe to logger program, apache can do this. And I was still talking about syslog ;-) -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
