In particular, if verbose apps output to event log via syslog(), this results in many single line event log entries.
The native win release of smartd.exe writes multiline eventlog entries containing all syslog() lines appearing within a second.
You might consider this idea also for Cygwin's syslog() implementation.
The code from smartd.exe is in the syslog_win32.c module included in the smartmontools-src package.



Sorry, no. The smartmontools code is GPLed, which is not compatible
with the Cygwin license.



Sure, but the *idea* to output multiline log entries insn't GPLed (IMO ;-)


Other than that, http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC.



If the idea is considered useful, I might provide a patch ...
