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. 

Cheers.
