Your script needs to be in a loop like: while (<>) { if (match) { sendmail; } } Wilhelm.Greiner@vaps.de wrote:

Hi,

im trying to send email with syslog-ng, i have configurations like this:

destination ruf_mich_an { program("/usr/local/sbin/log_to_mail.pl"); }; filter ruf_mich_an2 { facility(cron); }; log { source(net); filter(ruf_mich_an2); destination(ruf_mich_an); };

or things like:

destination d_cachos_dns_ldap_errors2 { program("/usr/local/sbin/log_to_mail.pl"); };

filter f_cachos_dns_error { match("Connection refused on DNS lookup to"); };

log { source(net); filter(f_cachos_dns_error); destination(d_cachos_dns_ldap_errors2); };

But there comes no mail, that perl script (see below) works correkt on the Console (takes input for the body from stdin).

But, when i restart syslog-ng, i become 4 Mails, but with only "761" inside...

Is there any "buffer" available? Means: will i receive a Mail for _every_ LogEntry, or can i say, all logentries in a defined time (minute or so). But i also can do that in the Mail Script.
