| Oct 23, 2013 at 21:12 | comment | added | user9517 | Dealing with beurocray is as you have said yourself part of the sysadmin job. As we have discussed before, we expect people here to have the administrative ability and authority to make changes. The OP here has neither. Whist I feel the OPs pain I really can't see how this is in anyway a system administration task. If anything it's more a programming task as the real solution (if your not going to do it the correct sysadmin way) is to catch the messages and send them on their way via your own daemon. And I already chucked a close vote on it as it's not really relevant ... | |

If OP elects to reject every possible solution for reasons that's his issue, not ours - we've got plenty of questions with great answers where the OP rejected every one, but those answers are useful for others. Server Fault helps those who help themselves... | |
| Oct 23, 2013 at 20:47 | comment | added | user9517 | Sorry I really don't see this as an SF question. OP had no idea of the system's config, doesn't have admin rights, doesn't want to/can't modify the app - and has rejected other useful observations - what is this system admin with your limbs tied together ? | |
| Oct 23, 2013 at 20:43 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | @Iain I've got root on every box here, but I've also got stuff that simply won't talk to syslog without an intermediary (because developers suck and have no concept of how this is supposed to work). root or not sometimes you need to swallow a file's contents and send it to your loghost which is really the crux of the question... | |
| Oct 23, 2013 at 20:38 | comment | added | user9517 | I kinda disagree. The OP has no admin rights on the box == user. The real solution is to do it properly everything else is just bodgery and hackery. As you've said yourself SF has a strong ethos of doing it right and in this case that's dealing wit the admin's or getting a new box where you have admin rights. | |
