<pre wrap="">Hi,
i've on my machine file with some name, for example:
# cat /var/hostname
smeagol
now i want to have log files like this:
/var/log/smeagol-all.log
if i change content of /var/hostname and then restart syslog-ng,
syslog-ng shoud start logging to files with new name.
is it possible? mabye no directly but with some workaround?
regards,
p.
