Hi, I am facing problem in remote logging though is working very fine locally. please advise me what to do and where I am missing something. the details I am giving below. I have one target linux system (set top box) and one host Linux Desktop Machine. the syslogd and logging working fine on both target as well as on PC(host) machine individually . I have scenario, I have to run program on target machine. And I have to collect the log on PC(host) console as well as in some file say /tmp/log. I have started $syslogd -r on both the machines. the syslog.conf file on the machines are like this. target >> syslong.conf local0.* @ip.address PC(host) >> syslog.conf local0.err /dev/console local0.* /tmp/log in process list syslogd shows like "syslogd -r" I have already run many times $ kill -SIGHUP /var/run/syslog.pid on both machine. even though it is not working -Gemi _________________________________________________________________ Tried the new MSN Messenger?
