+nfo > /dev/null 2>&1 &

and set the syslog conf to point to the syslog server.

    Hi waswas,
    That was the first thing I tried, however what I noticed was that the utility stops after a period of time since it is reading from the same file and does not repeat over it to determine the next block. Thus my problem... pardon me if that is nonsensical.. it's late.
