I had a look at slugos-init's syslog handling, and for sure it looks well done and should be generalized to the whole OE. I guess, at this point, I should just play with it to understand how it works better (for example, a question I have in mind: each of syslog.{buffer, file, network} appears to just run syslogd with new commandline params, not restart it or send signal; is this reliable (e.g. documented)? Well, as I tell, I should try it myself first I guess.) [] > -- Rod -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com
