Hi, I read the man pages for syslog and syslog conf and then tried to setup syslog to write all calls to local.err to /var/log/local2.err.log I modified /etc/syslog.conf to read... *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console *.notice;kern.debug;lpr,auth.info;mail.crit /var/log/messages mail.info /var/log/maillog lpr.info /var/log/lpd-errs cron.* /var/cron/log local2.err /var/log/local2.err.log *.err root *.notice;auth.debug root *.alert root *.emerg * I then (as root) type kill -1 <syslog pid> But it didnt appear to work...I tested it using: logger -p local2.err WonK but the messages was logged in /var/log/messages. Any Ideas? Andrew
