you app has no interest in syslog.conf syslogd on your system is just an implementation of the syslog standard, and your app needs to talk protocol and standards, not to a specfic program. As above, there are very clear libraries to do what you need. you should have already found yourself on this page already http://protomatter.sourceforge.net/l...og/Syslog.html for example
