a) -- thanks to everyone who told me to use logread() -- RFTM -- right
!!

b) Funny thing however

I have one system (built by someone else and slightly different config
options (logger is on in my system not in his) and do the following:

syslogd -O/var/log/dog -C3
cat /var/log/dog
returns nothing  on his system.   (the /var/log/dog file is empty) 

On my system it returns the log.

/bin# syslogd -O/var/log/dog -C3 
/bin # cat /var/log/dog
Jan  1 00:11:32  syslog.info syslogd started: BusyBox v1.00
(2005.01.25-06:15+0000)
Jan  1 00:12:00  kern.notice ANISDKTOOL:          aniAsfLog.c: 84
Started ANISDKTOOL with Pid 404

RESET_REQ
Jan  1 00:12:00  kern.warn kernel: [0][10][2][44652] nimSysResetReq:
Reason Code = 0x6


So --->  any explanation?   This is why I thought syslogd was not
working.  Maybe logger puts the information in the file?
