Can someone please clarify what the log_fifo_size option does within the file() option for me please? I don't understand the docs, nor how to use it:

log_fifo_size() number The number of entries in the output fifo. Use global setting.

What is the "output fifo"?

Afaik you can set the log_fifo_size only on a general basis, not per-file. The log_fifo_size defines how many log-lines (not bytes/characters) will be kept in the ram/buffer before they get flushed out to the disk. mfg/best regards -- Michael Renner Junior System Engineer Inode Telekommunikationsdienstleistungs GmbH - http://www.inode.at support@inode.at, Tel.: 05 9999-0, Fax.: 05 9999-2699
