Hello list; In syslog.conf I have these 2 lines. local0.* /var/log/security local0.* | exec /usr/local/bin/ipf.table The security log file is being populated and working fine. Now I want to pipe the same log records to a script for processing. The ipf.table script looks like this #! /bin/sh $1 >> /var/log/ipf.table.log1 $@ >> /var/log/ipf.table.log2 $* >> /var/log/ipf.table.log3 service syslogd restart The ipf.table.log1, 2, 3 never get populated even though I see new entries in the security.log file. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for your help.
