:) Problem is that everything just dumps their output to stdout and
stderr which are redirected to the log files. This includes lwp/rpc2
and rvm.
well, a program to read stdin and log stuff shouldn't be too hard.
And a lot of the logged data is really not that interesting. It probably
was useful to some developer(s) while they were working on a problem.
Like, why would I care that the 'SmonDaemon timer' just expired. I don't
believe many people know what smon (and mond) are, but they used to be
part of an extensive profiling system where clients and server dumped
trace data into a centralized sql database. I don't think anyone has
used that code in the past 4-5 years.
Well, that's what log debug is for, or a control mask to not log stuff
unless set!
But I see the real point, which is that it may be a lot of work to
syslogify this.
