Not exactly. If you use only the syslog(3) function, you are right, but if you open a connection to syslog with openlog(3) in the begining of your application then you will be in trouble when syslog-ng listen in unix-dgram and have been reloaded. At least with the version 1.6.X of syslog-ng. It's possible that in version 2.0 the syslog-ng could keep unix-dgram connections between reload, but I'm too conservative to change it. (If you read the Changelog you could recognize the time when I changes /dev/log from unix-stream to unix-dgram. And the funny thins _is_ that because of this change I have to restart every daemon which send log messages. Because the running daemons couldn't recognize that unix-dgram /dev/log is no more. So, the thruth is that I'm not too brave to do this change. (I have to test a lot of daemons, before I could accept this change back.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
