[syslog-ng]program() destination

(I'm sending it again cause I'm not sure the first send was successful so sorry if it's a duplicate) About launching a program, specifically a perl script to do other jobs when some filters are matched the right code snippet is : #!/usr/bin/perl $fh = select (FOO); $| = 1; select ($fh); open FOO, ">>/foo.log" or die $!; while ( <STDIN> ) { print FOO $_; } close FOO; you need the first to line to disable buffering...(that's why you cannot say any lines in the file) Hope this could help the syslog-ng people :) Amodiovalerio Verde Computer freak and consultant amover@libero.it
