| By Silas BrownWhen I accidentally dropped an old Windows Mobile PocketPC onto the floor at the exact moment it was writing to a memory card, the memory card's master FAT was corrupted and several directories disappeared from the root directory. Since it had not been backed up for some time, I connected the memory card to a Linux system for investigation. (At this point it is important not to actually mount the card. If you have an automounter, turn it off before connecting. You have to access it as a device, for example /dev/sdb1. To see which device it is, you can do ls /dev/sd*both before and after connecting it and see what appears. The following tools read from the device directly, or from an image of it copied using the ddcommand.) |

| By Ron PetersonRSyslogextends and improves on the venerable syslogd service. It supports the standard configuration syntax of its predecessor, but offers a number of more advanced features. For example, you can construct advanced filtering expressions in addition to the simple and limiting facility.priority selectors. In addition to the usual log targets, you can also write to a number of different databases. In this article, I'm going to show you how to combine these features to capture specific information to a database. In addition, I'll show you how to use trigger functions to parse the log messages into a more structured format. |
