[olug] syslog help

[Trent Melcher]

Ok well then,   what file does user go to in the syslog-ng.cong file

ie.
destination user { file("/var/log/user.log"); };

Attached is a sample syslog-ng conf file.  Might help some.

The answer is: this is a Java app that I'm QA'ing. So:
  o no, I can't do a syscall to logger, since that would be changing
code.
  o not in C.

But I did use logger to send a test message to my user.log, and the log
was created with the message, i.e. syslog-ng is working to a certain extent.
