syslog-ng
 

I am running SuSE 10.0 and trying to configure syslog-ng.conf to log cron activities to a separate file. Here is what I did in the syslog-ng.conf:

#destination cron { file("/var/log/cron"); };
log { source(src); filter(f_cron); destination(cron); };

But syslog-ng cannot be restarted with the following information:

unresolved reference: cron
Error initializing configuration, exiting.

Any idea how to correct this?

Thanks.

May help;

Thanks. But still doesn't work. The problem I reported was not with the log file name, but rather the cron source. The syslog-ng doesn't know what cron is?

If you copied exactly what you have in syslog-ng.conf, then you commented out your own definiton of the destination cron. Remove that # sign.

How silly I was. Thanks.
