Subject: Lines ending with \n on OS X 10.4
I am running the following test script on my PPC OSX machine (This is perl, v5.8.6 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level) and I am seeing some strangeness: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; use Sys::Syslog qw(:standard :macros); my $ident = "testLogger"; my $logopt = "pid"; my $facility = "LOG_LOCAL0"; # Writes to the same place as ipfw openlog $ident, $logopt, $facility; syslog LOG_INFO, "%s", "This is my test message"; syslog LOG_INFO, "This is another test message"; closelog; The resulting lines in the log read: Jan 18 13:26:35 Desktop testLogger[18393]: This is my test message\n Jan 18 13:26:35 Desktop testLogger[18393]: This is another test message\n Note the literal \n on the end of each line. Is there some way to get rid of this?

I think I've also seen some of these on my OSX. I'll add a workaround to avoid this end-of-line, but maybe a bug could be openened at Apple: syslog daemons on most other Unix just ignore these. -- Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.

Apple didn't answer, so I added a workaround in version 0.21. Thanks for reporting the problem. -- Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.

Received this answer from Apple: "Engineering believes this issue has been addressed in Mac OS X Leopard." Very helping... As there's already a workaround in Sys::Syslog, this ticket can be closed. -- Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.
