You said, I think, you coded in Delphi. Then have a look at Lazarus, it is a multiplatform remake of Delphi. Just write to a text file with a cache. Or look in the examples to find something else...
No my friend, I do not need help into very basic logging principles, I was just inquiring whether something more fully developed would exist for Linux that was not the triade of syslog/cron/logrotate.
Well, I simply have not needed anything of the sort in the programs I have made on Linux. Otherwise, I would investigate, or do my own.
If most people generally just go with syslog/cron/logrotate then no one might ever have found a need (or desire) for it.
However if you say that many programs do bring their own system, then maybe we're missing something.
Several have the configuration option to use the system syslog, or files directly handled by the application.
Basic rotation would not be hard to implement in your own script, I concur, but it needs the work in any case and usually (thus far) I am not willing to put that much work into it.
Logrotate I think could be called as user, by giving it a separate configuration file than the system one. I have not investigated it, but my educated guess is that it can do that. It then can be called via cron, which a plain user has access to (unless the admin denies it). - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
