Right - because you only need to start the client once (it reads input continually from the pipe). I use this setup and the mysql client occasionally stops (my mysql server is across the network since I have multiple loggers writing to a database to provide a realtime log view to the NOC). The pipe will buffer data (depending on your log rate), so running the mysql client in a wrapper (which reruns it) or restarting it from a management console or cfengine or similar is a prudent step. -andrew
