I just tested syslog-ng. I think it is better than the standard syslogd and will start using it. I have two suggestions. I will post them in separate mails so that the discussion can go on in their own threads. Here's the first one: I would like to be able to put the sync option in log statements, instead of having a global value. This would give me the possibilty to buffer less important messages (for example frequent debug messages) and not buffer more critical messages (such as those with a priority of emerg and alert). Please send any comments to me as well as the mailinglist. Regards, Björn -- Björn Andersson <bjorn@lifix.fi>
