Well, somewhat kludgy... I don't want to spawn a new process every five
minutes and I want to have one process running without breaks (counter, whi=
ch
will warn me if it sees something unusual and a summary at midnight).  If
syslog-ng (theoretically) provides such way of logging (one process, staying
in memory, which gets all logs on stdin), I want to get it to work.  Maybe a
fifo somewhere would be a good workaround, but it is also a kludge.

Ah, I'd forgot: I use syslog-ng 1.4.11
