In fact. your experiment was 99% correct. The only thing you needed to do differently was to use the "syslog" command rather than the "logger" command. Try this: We introduced a new Apple System Log message service in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). See the syslogd(8) man page for a description of the components of ASL, and details on the operation of the server. See the asl(3) man page for details on the API. Before Tiger, Mac OS X used the same syslog system that's used on many other OS platforms. It used a list of Facility codes that were found in /usr/include/sys/syslog.h. To add a new facility code in the old system, you would need to change the header file, and then recompile syslogd and anything else that needed to be aware of the new facility - including the "logger" command. We still support the old syslog(3) API, and some utilities like the logger command, but underneath them is the new ASL service. Amongst many other changes, ASL does not have a hard-coded list of facilities. The facility may now be any string. The only policy that is enforced with regards to facility names is that only root (UID 0) processes may use "com.apple.system" as a facility name, or as the prefix for a facility name. We're encouraging developers to try to use a "Reverse ICANN" naming convention for facility names to avoid namespace conflicts. Here's a small test program that will also send a "test" message with the "raduis" facility: See the asl(3) man page for details on the API, but I'll add a couple of notes. The reason for the call to asl_set_filter() is that, by default, the client side of the ASL library filters out messages with level ASL_LEVEL_DEBUG and ASL_LEVEL_NOTICE. Unless you set the filter to pass debug messages to syslogd, then nothing would actually get through to the log file. If you read through the man page, you'd also find that the following code *should* work: But due to a bug in asl_open(), it doesn't. Sorry about that! The bug will be fixed in 10.5 (Leopard). Is it possible to configure the Mac OS X syslogd for custom facilities? (Specifically Tiger) radius.* /var/log/ radiator/authlog/syslog.log I've been digging through the archives for an answer to this question, but I haven't had much luck with this specific problem. The facility describes the part of the system generating the message, and is one of the following keywords: auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, syslog, user, uucp and local0 through local7. Does this mean that custom logs using other keywords for the facility name aren't allowed? This email sent to majka(a)apple.com This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Trying to use the CGSConnectionID from other processes will typically fail with an error return. In other tasks, the ID serves only as a unique identifier for the owning processes connection to and from the window server, typically for internal diagnostic purposes such as error logging. This is wildly off-topic for the darwin-dev mailing list, so this is the last I'll say on the subject here. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
