So, I am trying to capture the output of the domino console in a log file, and integrate it into Red Hat’s lot rotation setup. I had tried to get it to work, and found out that while $LOG got moved to $LOG.1, the output keeps going to $LOG. Basically, the startup scripts does something like “server > $LOG”. Earlier, I set $LOG, so I would think it would always right to that file. The log rotater from Red Hat does create a new $LOG, just nothing goes in it.
For some reason, I think I am missing something fundamental about redirection, but I cannot put my finger on it.

something we have wanted to do for a while is send Domino log output to syslogd. Does this trigger any ideas?
Tolkien fan huh?

the word “fan” is a bit too restrained for what I am 
Anyway, I would not think you could get domino server to do this. You would have to write the startup script to somehow send on 514/udp and communicate via the syslog protocol. Not impossible (I have seen someone deal with apache much like this), but I would not know how to do it easily.
I may have to spam a few newsgroups.

Is there any way that this could be made to work on Linux? Apparently it logs to syslogd on Solaris…
