You simply cannot use a destination like that one.

Remember that syslog-ng never stop feeding destinations, so there is never an EOF...

What you can do is a script or a little program that read it's stdin and without waiting for an EOF, do something.

I use some C program I've written to read stdin using a fgets() that return after # bytes or after an EOL.

You have to use something like that using language you like.

But never expect syslog-ng to close your destination stdin, cause it's not its behaviour.

Could you send this program to me? Wouldn't it be better to return after a linebreak? Thx, Florian
