yes, the same way I'm doing this in the meantime. But remember to start 
named with "-f", otherwise there's no stderr-output. Btw.: I heard from 
some experienced c-programmer, that the pipe-option in logging isn't 
that hard, it should be no more than a popen() instead of a fopen(). 
Maybe somehas has some time a extend the logging-channels with a 
pipe-option? It would be very useful.
