Syslog daemon (yes, I read the archives)

Syslog daemon (yes, I read the archives)

[David O'Shea]

Hi all,

From reading the archives there seem to be some requests from people
to have the ability to use a syslog daemon instead of the Windows
Event Log or C:\CYGWIN_SYSLOG.TXT for syslog output.  I would also
like that.

I would like to try to implement this so that a registry flag controls
whether the current method is used or whether to try and talk to the
local syslog daemon.

Is there any reason to not do this?  If I don't hear back from here I
guess I'll try and get on the -developers mailing list and see what
they say.

Regards,
David

All of the developers read this mailing list.  If you want to contribute
something, you should look at the contributing link at the cygwin web site
and you'll need to send in an assignment for any patch that you provide.

I don't have any opinion one way or the other on this.  I guess I'd have
to see the implemenation.
