Different Syslogging - External Application

Hello all, I have a new idea on a something I want to accomplish with syslog and some messages going to my syslogd server. Is there a way to, instead of logging to a local file, call a local script from syslog.conf. IE:

local7.* /usr/bin/myscript.pl

Therfore whenever I get a new msg coming on the local7 priority it would pass that msg to the perl script and from there I would be able to have my way with the text

. Let me know if I can get this done and/or if I have to change syslogd servers. Thank you.

Dan

You can use | to pipe to your script. BTW your exact question is RTFM'able.
