Hi All,

i am trying to find good syslog suitable for embedded. Means,
1. no use of dynamic allocations
2. small footprint
3. redirection to multiple destination (number of IPs, file, console)

Thanks everyone for help.

AFAIK busbox syslogd miss the 3rd requirement. If any other existing
syslog still miss at least one of the requirements then upgrading busybox with the network support would be a viable solution.

The version of busybox that is included in the uClinux-dist:

http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/dist/

has extensions to do most if not all of 3. I can't recall how much of that functionality has made it back upstream.

You can have a peek at a much older version of uCLinux-dist at:

http://cvs.uclinux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/uClinux-dist/user/busybox/

might save the big download,

Cheers,
