The omprog (sending log messages to stdin of another process) module isn't built by default on FreeBSD, nor does it actually compile. How-To-Repeat: Want to send syslog messages to stdin of another program, such as logsurfer or sec. Fix: Attached patch creates a PROG config knob enabling the omprog output module. It also includes a trivial patch to "fix" the omprog.c code with wait.h being in /usr/include/sys on FreeBSD. diff -Nur rsyslog8.old/Makefile rsyslog8/Makefile --- rsyslog8.old/Makefile 2014-11-15 15:23:38.354046000 -0600 +++ rsyslog8/Makefile 2014-11-15 15:32:41.269071343 -0600 @@ -23,13 +23,14 @@ PORTSCOUT= limit:^8\.2 PKGNAMESUFFIX= 8 -OPTIONS_DEFINE= DBI DOCS GNUTLS GSSAPI MYSQL PGSQL RELP RFC3195 SNMP +OPTIONS_DEFINE= DBI DOCS GNUTLS GSSAPI MYSQL PGSQL PROG RELP RFC3195 SNMP DBI_DESC= LibDBI output module for rsyslog GNUTLS_DESC= GNUTLS module for rsyslog GSSAPI_DESC= GSS API input/output module for rsyslog MYSQL_DESC= MySQL output module for rsyslog PGSQL_DESC= PostgreSQL output module for rsyslog +PROG_DESC= Prog (a.k.a. pipe) output module for rsyslog RELP_DESC= RELP input/output module for rsyslog RFC3195_DESC= RFC3195 input support for rsyslog SNMP_DESC= SNMP trap sender for rsyslog @@ -80,6 +81,13 @@ CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--disable-pgsql .endif +.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MPROG} +CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-omprog +PLIST_FILES+= lib/rsyslog/omprog.so +.else +CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--disable-omprog +.endif + .if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MRELP} LIB_DEPENDS+= librelp.so:${PORTSDIR}/devel/librelp CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-relp diff -Nur rsyslog8.old/files/patch-plugins__omprog__omprog.c rsyslog8/files/patch-plugins__omprog__omprog.c --- rsyslog8.old/files/patch-plugins__omprog__omprog.c 1969-12-31 18:00:00.000000000 -0600 +++ rsyslog8/files/patch-plugins__omprog__omprog.c 2014-11-15 15:28:07.234028803 -0600 @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +--- plugins/omprog/omprog.c.orig 2014-11-15 15:26:55.633028880 -0600 ++++ plugins/omprog/omprog.c 2014-11-15 15:27:01.695054590 -0600 +@@ -36,7 +36,7 @@ + #include <errno.h> + #include <unistd.h> + #include <fcntl.h> +-#include <wait.h> ++#include <sys/wait.h> + #include <pthread.h> + #include "conf.h" + #include "syslogd-types.h"

I just enabled it by default since it does not pull in any external deps. Thanks for your submission!
