Interesting suggestion. I can't easily use it, because I also don't control the software running on the remote logging machine -- it is syslogd wrapped in SSL, non-negotiable. I just found Gerrit's tryto(1). I think that practically gets rid of my possible problem, although it would still be nice to resolve my question about syslogd's behavior when its processor gets stuck. - Larry
