Can I output slogger to a syslog server?   
I thought I read somewhere that allowed me to redirect slogger to a syslog server.  
I understand the differences between the two, slogger is a ring buffer and syslogd writes to a file.  But I have a 
syslog server and I have most of my code printing output to the slogger file.  I'd like to be able to have the slogger 
writes show up on my syslog server.

Is there such a way??

RE: Can I output slogger to a syslog server?   
I'm not aware of an officially supported slog to syslog gateway, but I definitely wouldn't claim to be an authority on 
the subject.  Alternatives which come to mind are either implementing your own slogger server which forwards using the 
syslog protocol, or a sloginfo style client which proxies to syslog (although message loss is a distinct possibility in 
the client case).

Thanks.  That's what I thought...   Too much work for not much return.  I'll just go through my code and change it to 
write to syslog.
