Syslog package

Göran,

I found your Syslog package, and was quick to lean toward the FFI form largely because when combined with Gnome's log file viewer and a filter, it will hopefully be similar to OutputDebugString + DebugView on Windows. I had to change the call to

syslog: severity message: aString
"private use
void syslog(int, const char *, ...)"
<cdecl: void 'syslog' ( long char* ) module: '/lib/libc.so.6'>
^self externalCallFailed

You mentioned that your version might work only on your machine. Is there a correct way to do this that will be independent of the Linux distribution or libc version?

Bill

Ehrm, I presume this message was directed to me? Or some other "Göran"?
I guess you are referring to SimpleLog - although, I can't for my life
recall the above FFI-thing (my memory sucks though so who knows).
