The file does exist and I set it to be wide open

prwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Mar 18 08:33 fifo.logdog

When I run the fuser /var/log/fifo.logdog I get no return.

BTW. Thanks for your input!

So I commented out this in the logdog.pl file

##if (openFIFO($conf{'fifo'})) { quit("ERROR => Connecting to fifo [$conf{'fifo'}] returned the error: $!", 1); }

Here is where it is located:

#############################
##
##      MAIN PROGRAM
##
#############################

## Initialize
initialize();

## All other initialization stuff
processCommandLine();
handleHUP();

## Open fifo
##if (openFIFO($conf{'fifo'})) { quit("ERROR => Connecting to fifo [$c
+onf{'fifo'}] returned the error: $!", 1); }

Of course the program started but no info on a user to access the fifo file. I'll keep digging
