We've got an "appliance", based on ubuntu that has some of our own apps running on it (which are distributed as .deb).
Logging is sent through syslog. Syslog.conf is customized so that our apps' messages get sent to a dedicated file.
Are there any gotchas/best practices I should know about in terms of programmatically modifying syslog.conf from the installer scripts and/or administrative configuration scripts? It doesn't support "conf.d" style configuration and I'd like to avoid stomping on existing config.
Thanks.
