Hello!
I'm not sure if this is a bug ore if it fals under the rule
"The Fifth Rule of Sys::Syslog is: One log at a time"
Bug: after closing and reopenig a log (with logopt='') the option "pid"
will not be overwritten with the empty string.
Means "pid" can't be switched off.
My Test:
--------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# PerlSkript zum testen von syslog
use Sys::Syslog;
$program = "syslog_test.pl";
openlog($program, '', 'user');
syslog('info', 'info test');
closelog();
openlog($program, 'pid', 'user');
syslog('info', 'info test');
closelog();
openlog($program, '', 'user');
syslog('info', 'info test');
closelog();
exit;
My Result in the logfile:
-------------------------
Sep 21 13:01:07 hb1 syslog_test.pl: info test
Sep 21 13:01:07 hb1 syslog_test.pl[5617]: info test
Sep 21 13:01:07 hb1 syslog_test.pl[5617]: info test <-- swithing off
does not work
My System:
----------
