Have the logging services emit to a single logging application (preferably an app outside the monitored system, but near enough to it) and have that app do the logic of emitting log data to USB or elsewhere. The app could probably be a 9P service exported to the monitored system's /var/log, so writes to there actually end up somewhere else (in a database, for example.) This retains the old file interface while blending in some wicked functionality... Cheers, Zakame -- Zak B.
