[syslog-ng]AIX compatability issue?

Wed, 28 Feb 2001 14:41:22 -0600

I've discovered the problem. It seems AIX sends a 'verbose' string by
default.  If you add a -s to the line where you call AIXs syslogd from it
sends a more typical message.  After this change all my AIX messages are
filtered correctly.

Would it be easier to replace the AIX syslogd with syslog-ng?

strace and truss log to stderror (or a file) all the system call a
process makes.

I took a look at the AIX box we have kicking around and the only
strace on it is for tracing STREAMS.  This is not what you want.

I looked at the strace homepage, and as far as I can tell, AIX is
*not* one of the supported platforms.

AIX seems to have a tracing utility called trace(1).  It looks kinda odd,
but should do the job.
