@Bill, I am running one more server which is processing the system messages. Server is being recompiled on fedora and I don't want to change the parsing and other logic just for fedora flavor of my server. Other wise using named pipe is good option.

I don't have any idea what you are trying to do, but are you aware that you can send syslog to a fifo (named pipe) and read from that? My mail server pipes error messages to a fifo read by a perl program which plays with iptables rules for evil incoming connections. -- Bill Davidsen <david...@tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
