syslog disconnection

[Toby Dickenson]

syslog can write to a unix domain socket, usually /dev/log. Bad things happen if the proces listening to this socket (usually syslog) restarts. Some syslog daemons do this often, as part of their log rotation process.

Fix is in toby-syslog-reconnect-branch

Consider this for 2.6.1b3 (if there is one) or 2.6.2

Zope 2.7 has a completely different logging system. I must remember to check this when I start looking at 2.7.

Unassigning myself.... Im going to have to leave this for someone else.

The referenced branch does not exist, and (from what I can tell looking back
at CVS) never did.

In "modern" Zopes, all logging is done either the 'zLOG' package. which is a
thin wrapper on top of the stdlib 'logging' module, or else uses the stdlib
module directly. Any problems with using that module against syslog should
be reported in the Python tracker.
