No, the script the reads from the named pipe would be installed on the syslogd server. > > > mkfifo /var/log/hostLogging > Could I use touch instead of mkfifo? What is the benefit by using mkfifo? No. the denefit of mkfifo is that it creates the named pipe.

No, but my consulting practice can write one for you..$ :-) Hong its very clear that you have already learned a great deal about Linux but you still need to do a certain amount of reading and learning to fully understand what you are trying todo. So here is some homework: man syslogd.conf man mkfifo google "Named Pipes" (and pick out an introduction) man syslog After you study all that and try to build a script it will be a good time to ask some more questions. You don't have enough knowledge to benefit from any further help at this point.
