Package: rsyslog Version: 4.4.1-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Rsyslog provides a nice output plugin to forward logs to a program. This is already provided by logging to a named pipe in some way. However logging to a named pipe has some drawbacks. When there is no reader ready the pipe will not accept messages and messages are dropped. This can happen when restarting the reader for instance. There also is another plugin omshell already available. It however forks for each line, which is not very effective. I therefore suggest adding --enable-omprog to ./configure in debian/rules.
Other solutions for reliably feeding log messages to a program are welcome, of course. Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
