Thanks for the response! If recent versions of syslog-ng are no longer suitable for Cygwin, would it make sense to dump it in favor of rsyslogd, provided it doesn't also have similar issues with porting? I'm no developer and wouldn't be the one to take up such a project, but I'm just curious. -- Matthew Hatch On Thu, Aug 18, 2016 at 3:39 AM, Corinna Vinschen wrote: > On Aug 17 16:09, Matthew Hatch wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I've noticed that syslog-ng hasn't received much attention in cygwin >> and is several years out of date (3.2.5).
