SYSLOG and logging Appl Entries

[John J Archer]

I have an application that was ported from individual unix PCs (a Workstation = WST) to a K360. On the K360 each WST instance longs information in to a log file specifically for that instance WST and each WST has 6 or more concurrently executing programs each logging into the instance logfile. The current log function that is used opens a specified log WST file, writes the entry and closes the file. This is controlled by a WST assigned semaphore. My question is this: Is it possible to have multiple SYSLOGD processes executing on the K360 at one time (grouped by a number of WSTs) and be able to have those WSTs use SYSLOG to make thier entries to each WSTs log file based on say local0:7 references???

It is poosible to log to different files through syslogd, if your application uses different log local log info.

e.g. if one apps uses local3, you can use it as follows. (in /etc/syslog.conf file)

local3.info /var/adm/syslog/apps1.log
local4.info /var/adm/syslog/app2.log

I would suggest that you have a seperate log for this application.

I know that multiple log files are possible but I would like to have 100 seperate log files. One for each WST and even if I can do this through a single SYSLOGD, I'm afraid that the volume would overload that single process. I'd like to have several SYSLOGD processes running at a time.
