[comp.sys.hp] Where is BSD syslog

robert@spam.istc.sri.com (07/28/88)

    Currently I am engaged in porting several different suites of
    software to HPs, from Suns and VAXen, and so I have encountered
    a wide variety of problems.

    The latest problem is that some of the code I am porting makes
    calls to openlog() and syslog(), which are supported under 4.2
    and 4.3 BSD.  I wish to retain the logging functionality of the
    code I am porting, and I am wondering if there is an equivalent
    to the syslog() functionality under HP/UX.  Does anyone know of
    such a thing?

    Thanks,

Re: syslog under HP-UX

The 4.3 syslog(3) functionality is not currently supported under HP-UX 6.0.
However, I've ported it (using INET sockets instead of UNIX domain sockets)
and it works as expected.
