I'm working on a project which requires that I pipe a remote syslog to a
fifo so a daemon can parse the results. After some googling I *thought*
that I had figured out how to configure syslog to do this. Here's the
syslog.conf entry:
+ hostname.utdallas.edu
*.* | cat > /var/run/program/program.fifo
This seems to work for one syslog message. The rest go to
/var/log/messages.
So I tried this:
+ hostname.utdallas.edu
*.* | tail -f > /var/run/program/program.fifo
But that seems to do the same thing.
I want these messages to be piped to the fifo *only* and not show up in
local logs. What's the secret sauce for this?
