Thanks for your suggestion. This is for Tomcat. Unfortunately I am stuck reading from the log because the syslog appender in the log4j version on our app does not capture stack traces while the file appenders do. In other cases we want to capture garbage collections which are only written to stdout.
Couldn't you redirect stdout >> fifo?
I tried sending my file appends to /dev/log but that didn't work
Yes, doesn't work. I think I tried it myself once... Use the fifo and the pipe source.
Only my central log server runs syslog-ng.
Ah, the real reason finally :-) :-)
