That is likely due to my ignorance. I thought that the app used the syslog() calls to send the information to the resident syslogd. The resident syslogd would then "do whatever". Is syslogd single threaded that it would be negatively impacted by a high rate of logging? Are the syslog() calls synchronous? I guess I could read the code, but I don't have the time right now. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Applications & Solutions Team This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
