A syslog is conceptually for a single app, the OS. Also each app may have its own log besides the syslog. It's true, furthermore, that not every project or app on Windows or *nix writes to the syslog or event log. It's also true that Windows apps don't write to *nix syslogs as a rule, nor vice versa. As before, every "rule" I present may have exceptions. In the context of the OP's question, it was important to distinguish that in general different apps have different logs. At no point did I suggest the ratio had to be one to one. I also did not say that it did not have to be one to one. Your post is very useful for making that point. -- Lew Honi soit qui mal y pense. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Friz.jpg
