I've made mention of my syslogd
replacement, but since I had nothing else to do today,
I buckled down, wrote (some) documentation and have now officially released
syslogintr
under a modified
GNU GPL license.
It currently supports only Unix and UDP sockets (both unicast and multicast) under IPv4 and IPv6; is compatible with
RFC-3164 (which documents current best practice and isn't a “standard”
per se) but is fully scriptable with
Lua. And because of
that, it's probably easier to configure than rsyslogd
and
syslog-ng
, both of which bend over backwards in trying to
support, via their ever increasingly complex configuration files, all sorts
of wierd logging scena—Oh! Intarwebs back up! Shiny!
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
