My input is that you shouldn't devote any more brain power to syslog than is absolutely necessary to be barely standards-conformant. Software authors should not be encouraged to use syslog; instead, they should be educated not to. http://skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-log.html#diesyslogdiedie As for timestamps, well, the right format to write them in is obviously neither UTC nor local time, but TAI64N. :) -- Laurent
