why can't I implement syslog ?
Hi all, I would like to log my message by using syslog so I altered /etc/syslog.conf like below (kill and re-start syslogd as well) # file: /etc/syslog.conf -- snip --- local1.debug/var/log/myScript.log and in a shell script I use # /usr/bin/logger -i -p local1.debug -t myScript "this is a testing log message." after I run above script nothing to file:/var/log/myScript.log. Why not or I miss something ? TIA, Pote = - Pote :-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today!

Probably true if you just appended the line to syslog.conf. This would limit the scope of logging. See man syslog.conf! The file "myscript.log" must exist before you restart syslogd to re-read the configuration. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
