Hi Marvin, "...logging to a USB flash drive when needed". I guess that would depend on when exactly is "when needed". Once you define that, you just have to whip up a short script to wait for that event, swap your /etc/syslog.conf with one that specifies logging to a USB flash drive, mount the flash drive, and then restart the syslog daemon. Ofcourse it would be advisable to make a similar script to switch back to normal logging once the "when not needed" event occurs.
