Hi list If you define a pipe as log destination, the pipe must exist before syslog starts, otherwise syslog logs that it cannot write to the pipe. That should be fine normally, but if *all* messages go to that pipe syslog will cause a log-loop with those error messages. The attached patch creates the fifo automatically. kind regards peter -- :: e n d i a n :: open source - open minds :: peter warasin :: http://www.endian.com :: peter@endian.com

Latest git (e.g. nightly snapshot) contains such a function. -- Bazsi
