Thanks for pointing this out. It is definitely a good thing for people wanting to keep logs generated from one thread together, i.e. not cluttered with logs from other threads. In fact, we already employ this in order to better analyze (otherwise intermingled) log information. Now, our app consist of several AS instances running on different nodes on the net. One of them is a central control point whereas the others are treated as clients w/o any administration / management. We even update their SW on the fly, over the net. During operation, their log is of course generated localy. There might be several different threads running there, producing lots of valuable data we'd like to store/analyze centraly. So my naive idea was, if I were able to swap the log fd against a Tcl channel, I could simply re-route all resulting log traffic somewhere else. The emphasis is on "all" traffic. Not just from one thread. I do not even know when and howmany of them are being created over there! But I want all their logs at one place. If there is some other way of doing this, I'd be happy to hear. Tricks like NFS, syslog, etc. are out of the question because of the multi-platform nature (Unix/Win mix), network topology and protocol support. Any ideas?
