how do i log errors (and queries and 'slow queries') to syslog?

i don't want to maintain a bunch of individual log files ... i want to
log everything to syslog

in my.cnf, i've tried:

[mysqld_safe]
syslog

and

[mysqld_safe]
log=/var/log/syslog
log-error=/var/log/syslog
log-slow-queries=/var/log/syslog

without much success

--sk

stuart kendrick
fhcrc

this could really mess up your syslog; however, if you're hell bent on doing it,
you ought to make sure that the mysql server has the right to write to your
syslog. this is usually reserved only for root. but again, this can really be
messy. alternatively, you could place mysql logs under /var/log/mysql or something
similar.
