I'm running syslog ng on AIX 4.3.3 and while it works fine for system log calls, it doesn't seem to connect to a defined pipe and send information to it based on a logger call... below is a test conf file that I'm using. Send a message with logger is shows up in the d_mesg, but not to the d_pipe (Netcool is attached to the pipe. lsof shows the /var/adm/messages file being open, and again not the pipe... source s_sys { unix dgram ("/dev/log"); internal (); } destination d_mesg { file("/var/adm/messages"); }; destination d_pipe { pipe("/var/adm/mypipe"); }; log { source (s_sys); destination (d_mesg); destination (d_pipe); }; Any one seen this, or something like it? TIA, Andrew
