I would like to email some kernel.warning messages to myself via the pipe action in syslog.conf, but I'm getting hung up on the fact that the pipe stays open (unless I HUP syslogd).
The man page suggests that a script wrapper can be written to capture one line output and exit, but I wonder if there is any other method, such as an option/flag I am missing to terminate the pipe after, say, 30 seconds? I would rather have a script which waits at least 30 seconds before terminating rather than after one line, because some of the records I am looking for are multi-line, and I'm not sure if a script can be made to timeout.
