Hi Rainer Yep that is what it appears to be, I have a Ruby script listening which is executed by omprog, which is set to send an sms with the error message however, as the moment i have the script set to dump to a file what it reads from STDIN. Only when rsyslog is shutdown does the file get populated with data but as soon as the log message is sent to the log the script is hit and the file opened. So it would appear the omprog is not closing its handle or not flushing the data until rsyslog closes.
I am currently using rsyslog 4.6.4 (backported with omprog manually builtin) on ubuntu 10.04 Thanks for you help Mark On 10 February 2011 11:40, Rainer Gerhards <rgerha...@hq.adiscon.com> wrote: > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: rsyslog-boun...@lists.adiscon.com [mailto:rsyslog- >> boun...@lists.adiscon.com] On Behalf Of Mark Olliver >> Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2011 12:38 PM >> To: rsyslog-users >> Subject: Re: [rsyslog] OMPROG Doccumentation >> >> Hi, >> >> I have been playing more with OMPROG and have it working nearly the >> way i want now in that it it now passes the correct message to my >> external script by the pipe however, OMPROG seems to only flush the >> data out to the pipe when rsyslog is shutdown, until that point it >> just keeps the pipe/script open. > > You mean no data is sent until shutdown?
