how to log "fork errors", cygheap errors with syslogd

how to log "fork errors", cygheap errors with syslogd

[Heiko Elger]

Hello,

I'm sorry - but cause of sometimes having unpredictable and unreproduceable 
cygwin errors like "fork error, cygheap check", I trieded to run syslogd to 
log these all these errors in /var/log/messages.

But these kind of errors are not logged there.
How do I have to configure my syslogd - or is it not possible to log these 
kind of errors.

My syslog.conf file has only one entry.
***** snip sni snip *****
*.*                                     /var/log/messages
***** snip sni snip *****

Any help welcome.

I'm sorry - but I use syslogd the first time.


best regards 

Heiko Elger

No, it's not.  The messages are printed using special debug output
functions, not the syslog API.
