Is it absolutely critical that I always close Syslog when I'm done using it? Is there a huge negative impact from not doing so? If it turns out that I definitely need to, what's a good way to do it?

Using Stomp and Apache ActiveMQ as reliable syslog

Hi, One of my programs requires a reliable way to log across unreliable network (ie internet). The sender or receiver may go offline any time and can come back later.

Redirecting standard output to syslog

Hi! I'm planning to package OpenTibia Server for Debian. One of the things I want to do is add startup via /etc/init.d and daemonization of the otserv process.

Most routers seem to have a facility to send logs to another host using syslog. How do I get OSX (client) to receive these logs? OSX has a syslogd, but the instructions are opaque at best.
