      i succefully added the folowing script to

/etc/profile

it recreates the pilpline but

when i get access to the virtual machine by ssh it is blocked

have
linux-test1:~ #

 i have to tape ctrl +c to get access to it

here is the script

#!/bin/bash
if [ -e /tmp/mysql.pipe ]; then
     while [ -e /tmp/mysql.pipe ]
     do
         mysql -u root --password= syslog< /tmp/mysql.pipe
     done
else
     mkfifo /tmp/mysql.pipe
fi

i think the problem is from

 mysql -u root --password= syslog< /tmp/mysql.pipe

hi
i am configuring a centralised syslog server and when i arrived to the
writing into the database there is some thing wrong
because when i use a file as destination i see incoming logs when i restart
apache2 or mysql in the client
"tail - f /"
i use syslog -ng 2.0
here is the client
*source my_src{
file("/var/log/apache2/error_log" follow_freq(1)  );
file("/var/lib/mysql/mysqld.log" follow_freq(1) );
};
destination loghost {
    tcp("192.168.1.69" port(514));
};
log {
   source(my_src);
  destination(loghost);
};*
here is the server
* source mysrc{ tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514) keep-alive(yes));
#udp();
 };
destination d_mysql {
  pipe("/tmp/mysql.pipe"
  template("INSERT INTO logs (host, facility, priority, level, tag, date,
  time, program, msg) VALUES ( '$HOST', '$FACILITY', '$PRIORITY', '$LEVEL',
  '$TAG',
  '$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY', '$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC', '$PROGRAM', '$MSG' );\n")
  template-escape(yes));
};
log { source(mysrc); destination(d_mysql);
};
*
note that a databes names syslog is already created and contain a table
logs;
if itry the following command : syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
Error binding socket; addr='AF_INET(0.0.0.0:514)', error='Address already
in use (98)'
Error initializing source driver; source='mysrc'
ps i used to use the server as relai and send by udp using the same port
514 but now everinthing is
commented   like this #
need help
i added the following script to the file
