If you can't just list the FIFO as a file, maybe try "| cat >/var/run/nmd.log" ? Alternately, you should do away with the FIFO entirely and invoke the program that you currently have on the read end of the FIFO in syslog.conf. -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] [EMAIL PROTECTED] system administrator [WAY too many hats] [EMAIL PROTECTED] electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon univ.
