Can anybody tell me how to set up my own log file. I am using SYSLOG for logging my error from application. These log messages are going to system file in var/log/messages, I want my separate log file.
Use user defined facility local0 ... local6 to log your application error messages to different log file. Specify the facility name while invoking openlog syscall.
Edit /etc/syslog.conf accordingly <snip> # Save my appl log to mylog local0.* /var/log/mylog </snip> Note: Dont forget to restart syslog service -- Ashok S -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
