Instead of parsing local system log files, is there a way to have Java program accept Unix system logging info directly?
Thanks for your help.

As far as I know those syslog messages are send to port 514 of the logging server. Have a look at the API of the package java.net and try to write a program that listens on this port.
inside every large program there is a small program struggling to get out...

Thanks for help.
I wrote a server in DatagramSocket and have it listening on the port 514@localhost.
Seems like port 514 has been locked up by the syslogd. Is there a way to get around and have my serevr accept system logging?

Can you give more detail what you are trying to achieve? Do you want to replace syslogd completely or are you just interested in analyzing a certain kind of logged events? Maybe I could help you more if I knew...
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
