Anyone know what the possible switches are for the syslogd daemon running on dd-wrt v24. I was kinda hoping for something to put syslogd into debug mode.

From the source code:

Code:

/* Options */
   enum {
           OPTBIT_mark = 0, // -m
           OPTBIT_nofork, // -n
           OPTBIT_outfile, // -O
           OPTBIT_loglevel, // -l
           OPTBIT_small, // -S
           USE_FEATURE_ROTATE_LOGFILE(OPTBIT_filesize   ,) // -s
           USE_FEATURE_ROTATE_LOGFILE(OPTBIT_rotatecnt  ,) // -b
           USE_FEATURE_REMOTE_LOG(    OPTBIT_remote     ,) // -R
           USE_FEATURE_REMOTE_LOG(    OPTBIT_localtoo   ,) // -L
           USE_FEATURE_IPC_SYSLOG(    OPTBIT_circularlog,) // -C

Here is some more detail from the Busybox site

Code:

syslogd
syslogd [OPTION]...

System logging utility. Note that this version of syslogd ignores /etc/syslog.conf.

Options:
        -n              Run in foreground
        -O FILE         Log to given file (default=/var/log/messages)
        -l n            Set local log level
        -S              Smaller logging output
        -s SIZE         Max size (KB) before rotate (default=200KB, 0=off)
        -b NUM          Number of rotated logs to keep (default=1, max=99, 0=purge)
        -R HOST[:PORT]  Log to IP or hostname on PORT (default PORT=514/UDP)
        -L              Log locally and via network (default is network only if -R)
        -C[size(KiB)]   Log to shared mem buffer (read it using logread)

Example:
        $ syslogd -R masterlog:514
        $ syslogd -R 192.168.1.1:601
