what about syslog's capability to send all logs to a central syslog server (check /etc/sysconfig/syslog for the server part and /etc/syslog.conf for the client part)? applications/scripts can log also via "logger" - like echo test | /usr/bin/logger -i -t "appname" -p user.notice the archive part can be done on the syslog server centrally (e.g. use rsnapshot to provide daily, weekly, monthly cascades of /var/log) -- LF _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
