Sirs, Some questions about facilities and priorities: 1) I see from the stock sys/syslog.h file there is: #define LOG_UUCP (8<<3) /* uucp subsystem */ #define LOG_CRON (15<<3) /* cron/at subsystem */ /* other codes through 15 reserved for system use */ Have facility codes 9-14 ever been used? How could I use them for my own logging? Would that interfere with any 'standard' syslog functions? (I've already used the LOCAL0-7 ones, I would like more.) The sl_facilities table in syslog-names.c doesn't seem to allow for those in filters. 2) If that doesn't work, would it be proper to overload the stock 0-8 items with my own? Would that 'confuse' any other logging tools, or is it just a number used in the filtering? Thank you, Wendell Turner
