Hi all, I'm trying to have syslogd send an email upon reception of any relevant messages by piping the messages to |exec sendmail email@host.com This works sporadically - I assume syslogd keeps the pipe open so sendmail never knows when to begin sending. The box I'm doing this on receives few messages, so the occasional mail shouldn't bother it. I'm very new to BSD, so although I've read that writing a script wrapper may help, I wouldn't know where to start. Thanks in advance Scott Aitken Senior Network Engineer AAPT Limited 180-188 Burnley Street, Richmond, VIC 3121 W: +61 (3) 8414 3437 M: +61 414 855 641 __________ CCIE #6278 CCNP ATM/SECURITY/VOICE CCDP CNE 5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
