We still think, however, that the old-style format is good for simple configurations. Just if many parameters are added, it becomes really painful. So we won't force folks to move over to new style (many textbooks would need to be rewritten, as would Internet HowTos). We also keep some things in old style, simply because it's not a big problem and we don't have prorities to move away from them. Again, this is just to convey what we think about that topic ;) Rainer > Tomas > > ______________________________**_________________ > rsyslog mailing list > http://lists.adiscon.net/**mailman/listinfo/rsyslog<http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog> > http://www.rsyslog.com/**professional-services/<http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/> > What's up with rsyslog?
