Hello,

I am new to application development on Linux. I wrote a couple of daemons that talk to each other using UDP based on events generated by applications. Sometimes, they can run into some error conditions where they need to print a message and keep going.

Do we have any Standard Error logging mechanisms on Linux that i can use? Any API that I can use to write to a Standard file, may be like a syslog?

One way is that I keep open a file and write all the messages to it. But is this the only way? Can I make the two processes write to the same file/error-infrastructure?

Thanks,
Kidskc

Take a look at the logger command, and it's API, syslog:

man logger
man 3 syslog

Hi maceMoneta,

Thanks for your Help.. This is the API I am looking for..
