SCO Unix Tip

January 22, 2008 on 9:15 pm | In Work, General |

I used SCO Unix at my previous employer, and ran into a problem trying to send syslog messages to a remote host. Part of the problem is that syslog was started before the networking component, and so the process would try to resolve the hostname (or even the IP addres) and not send syslog messages to the remote server. This was resolved by editing the userdef startup script and restarting the syslog process after the network process was setup.
