You (or better the administrator) can create a named pipe (with mknod) and direct parts of the log infos additionally to this named pipe. So the syslog.conf needs to be edited and a line like "kern.info | YourNamedPipe" may be added, which say, the all the log messeages from the kernel shout additional go throug the named pipe. Of course the syslog-daemen needs to be restartet or instructed to reread its config file. Hope that helps Rolf
