Fwd: storing the logs
thanks greg,, a silly question........please have a look....... i create a socket to communicate to the user space app to listen to and responsible for loggin ... via my_sock=netlink_creat_sock() i create my own logging message format to send it via netlink interface. then how can i let my module know which process to bind it to? i mean to bind my socket to any user space application i need the pid of that one ,so at the very first time how can i initialize the binding process with user space application? i hope.. i am clear to u. please let me know if not....i wll try again. i 'd really appreciate any help.

haven't tried netlink so maybe this won't be much help. isn't it possible to just bind to somewhere on the network using int kbind(ksocket_t socket, struct sockaddr *address, int address_len) from http://ksocket.sourceforge.net/ ? if i'm not mistaken you won't need any pid good luck, Lutz

Why don't you use debugfs or procfs and use the application to read from it ?
