Hi Marvin Can you hook into hotplug/udev for autodetection of the USB disk? In any case a simple solution would be to use rsync the logs instead of fiddling with services and redirections. If you don't have rsync, I guess you can just redirect tail's stdout to the usb disk like Kenneth mentioned. Or the situation is more complicated than that? Just my 0.2c.
