I want my regular_run to output to the smsd log - for example I want to record the network status, and the total msg recorded every hour, like stats, but also record the output of eventscheduler scripts.

Do I have to muck around with logger or is there a simpler way?

thanks,

When a modem process sends a command to the modem, the result is logged to the smsd.log by default. These commands can be defined in the regular_run_cmdfile, and/or with a settings regular_run_cmd.

I have to say that right now I'm not sure if an external script can write to the smsd.log safely, at the same time when smsd processes are writing to it.

Perhaps you could just try and check what happens in your environment. But the preferred way is that external scripts use their own log files.

So the answer is: you have to muck around... Sorry

For some reason I assumed it was going through syslog... it's not a problem using another file for output.

Thanks
