Fwd: storing the logs
thanks greg,, a silly questionplease have a look... i create a socket to communicate to the user space app to listen to and responsible for loggin ... via my_sock=netlink_creat_sock() i create my own logging message format to send it via netlink interface. then how can i let my module know which process to bind it to? i mean to bind my socket to any user space application i need the pid of that one ,so at the very first time how can i initialize the binding process with user space application? i hope.. i am clear to u. please let me know if noti wll try again. i 'd really appreciate any help. ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

Fwd: storing the logs
hi , my module produces some data (very cititcal) and that i want to log that to some disk residing file like log files. So among several ways like using syslog (and family) ,audit daemon i am not finding the way to use the functionalities of any of these subsystems .i mean : practically i am still unable to do that. can someone point me to some practical implementations used by some other modules or some practically sound articles to achieve this? thanks a lot in advance. -- *MOHIT VERMA* ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
