Has anyone been able to use a named pipe for their general query log
(or any of the other logfiles for that matter)?

I tried the following as user mysql:  

rm /var/lib/mysql/myhost.log
mkfifo -m 0660 /var/lib/mysql/myhost.log

but the mysql server would not start.

I think it would be very useful to be able to use a FIFO for this so I
can use the log for debugging/info without having to create a log
rotation script.

I am running 5.0.2-alpha-standard on linux on i386.

Thanks.
