I have a problem with the program destination when having the following in my syslog-ng.conf file

destination dhcp { program("script-program"); };

it will run the script-program once when reloading syslog-ng not when matching the filter.

I've been using a C program rather than a script. It seems that syslog-ng loads the program once, and sends input to it whenever the filter matches. That is, the C program must while ((r = read(0, buffer, Buf_Len)) > 0) { process input } I suppose your script would need to do the same thing. Wendell Turner
