Alternate logging daemon suggestion

syslogd and klogd are the normal logging daemons included with archlinux.  Not to sound like trying to copy another distrobution or anything, but it would be nice to have a choice as to which logging daemon to install (or did I completely miss it by installing a base system without looking at what packages were being installed?).  I personally prefer metalog (configuration and ease of use imho are superior to klogd and syslogd).

Not to insult anyone, but I can outline the steps to switch from the standard loggers to metalog if anyone wants to see it.

Just my two cents at 0319 smile

Re: Alternate logging daemon suggestion

even easier would be to create some diff's i don't have any copies of the originals right now, so i can't make any... I'll see if I can hunt down the originals.

Re: Alternate logging daemon suggestion

anywho, I can't find any original script files... here's a rundown of how I did my metalog startup, compare notes with me here to see if we did it the same way.

/etc/rc.sysinit

change line 92 to:
status "Starting System Logger" /usr/sbin/metalog -B


/etc/rc.single

remove lines 40-43



thats about it for metalog for me
