which is quite confusing because I haven't told hslogger explicitely to use a log level printing ALERTs on "A.B.C". so I'd expect that only the first message is shown. This behaviour is explained by the inheritance of the loglevel when hslogger creates them (without attaching handlers) automatically.
I don't want the logging behaviour depend on wether a log line has been emitted before or not. Do you agree? Have I missed something?
At least some of what you've missed is that this is inherited from the C syslog library; possibly this should be using withSysLog (options) $ ... to bracket a use of syslog with appropriate openlog()/closelog() and changing top level options should only be attempted in the openlog() call. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
