I know, that I won't get much favor with my argument, but
I cannot stop myself from asking: why it is not possible to do
something with Linux, which is possible with other (unnamed)
operating systems? And concerning *logd, I have already stopped
most of them (unless emergency.* and such stuff) or they are
redirected to /dev/xconsole.
Sorry, for the argument, but it seems to me, that for beauty of
the programmer's logic some functionality (and users) are
sacrificed.
