"door",KW_DOOR "remote_control",KW_REMCTRL
are they supposed to do something or are just garbage ?
door is an option to streams sources used on Solaris 2.6 and later. remote_control is a new feature in 1.5.8 which can be used to reopen files during runtime without having the reinitialize your whole configuration.

Can you explain this a little further ? I'm going to write an italian syslog-ng howto and i'd like to put all options, like undocumented one like door and remote_control. thx.
remote_control is a destination driver, and as such you can direct messages to it (from sources, and possibly filter it using filters). if a message goes to remote_control, and its message part should contain a filename, if that given file is opened by syslog-ng it's first closed, and opened again. Thus you can reopen files without fully reinitializing syslog-ng by sending it a -HUP signal. I think door is documented, it is used with streams sources under Solaris. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
