To: "David J. Kanter" <djkanter@nwu.edu> cc: Peter Weber, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Thanks for your input, however, I believe the question s more about how to correctly determine if logging is working inside an application. I get the impression that syslog is not a gauranteed logging service. Does anyone know of one? Thanks, Michael "David J.
