Re: syslog

Do you have any of the Openview products. NNM or ITO?? They have windows agents that you can use.

Re: syslog

Plan A: Install the MKS Toolkit from http://www.mks.com and use the equivalant rsh command to invoke logger on your UNIX box.

Plan B: Install Samba/CIFS 9000 on your UNIX box and have your Windows box write files in a known directory. You then have a daemon which runs every few minutes that reads these files, parses them, and calls logger to log the messages. Your daemon would then remove the files.

Man logger for details.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
