With regards to the list of configuration files.. sometimes it is
difficult to load all of the -conf=<filename> on the command line. I am
interested in providing a clean looking process table. And, it might be
nice to change the list of configuration files without a restart of
SEC. So if I wished to use a SECRC, an example (this is not clear in
the documentation) might be
$SEC/.secrc:
-input=<input 1>
-input=<input 2>
-config=<config 1>
-config=<config 2>
-log=<logfile>
-pid=<pidfile>
-dump=<dumpfile>
With regards to syslog tags, since it seems too difficult to do, I will
assign text to %TAG, and use that as part of the logonly line,
logonly %TAG <my message>
so that the line in syslog comes out looking like ...
sec.pl[<pid>] <my tag> <my message>
Relating the two requests:
If I provide multiple configuration files as above, I might want to have
a different %TAG for each file, so I would want a way of localizing the
configuration scope...
Please advise,
Tim Peiffer
