Your solution sounds great but I'm sure there are people who don't wan't =

to

(or aren't able to) manage a database-server with triggers etc. At least =

I

don't.

Furthermore, you loose the "actions" of sl4nt and have to implement them =

all

by

yourself. I think sl4nt is a great product and i try to use a much of =

its

functionality

as possible. All I added until today is a country specific sms-software =

to

send

some of the messages to my mobile phone.

On the other hand I agree that a syslog daemon should be small and =

simple so

how

about my idea of a preprocessor interface. the message-text should be

reroutable via

an external program/script which would return it after selective

string-manipulations.

that would only add one checkbox and one script-selection to the whole

system. Of

course from the user point of view, I'm not talking about the necessary

programming 😉.
