[syslog-ng] syslog-ng with piped fifo

[Steve Bielen]

greetings

I have setup a syslog-ng server, which I intent to use to filter the 
messages from squid.
Currently I filter all the messages from squid and send them to  a pipe. 
on the other end of this pipe I have my perl script which formats the 
data and stores it into my postgres database.

the problem is that when I try to run /tmp/pgsql.pipe > script.perl I 
get the error permission denied.
I run that command as root, the pipe is owned by root, and the owner. 
and the same goes for script.perl.

second question: In most tutorials I see for database usage with 
syslog-ng everyone used a template insert command with variables. does 
anyone know if such variables exist for the squid access logs ?

best wishes
