Named log pipe + normal access log

[Daniel Fenert]

Hi,

I'd like to log to named pipe (just like said here:
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Named_Pipe_Log_Script) for some
live analysis and ALSO log to access log as usual.
Is it possible?

I'd like to avoid logging everything via this script (I have 1GB logs
every 20 minutes in peak hours on each slave).

You would have to alter the named pipe log script to write the regular 
access log file itself - the server cannot write to two different access 
logs at the same time.

And/or you could use the "tee" command ("man tee") in the pipe...

On wiki there's a section which describes (more or less) what I'm trying
to achieve. Is it an error or am I misunderstanding this section?

Create a new log pipe file

In this case, you will tell the script to create a new file (e.g.
errors.pipe). You must configure the directory server to use the new log.

Advantage - can use all of the log viewer and analysis tools
    Disadvantage - requires server configuration
