I have a question: When should syslog.closelog() be called? I have a daemon that spends most of its time asleep and quiet, but writes messages to the mail log when active. Should I open the log at the start and keep it open until the program closes? This seems much simpler than issuing three commands everytime I want to write to the log.
The program will essentially be running constantly. Is having the log constantly "open" a problem? What happens if the program crashes or is killed without a closelog()? Jeff -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
