Hi,        I would like to append the logs in the current run to existing logs. There was log-append.bro which can change the default setting in earlier Bro. How could it be done in Bro 2.1? open\_log\_file is defined in init-bare.bro, which seems not loaded in init-default.bro, so changing open to open\_for\_append in its definition does not work. I run bro directly from the command line as "bro -r xxx.pcap". Any suggestion is appreciated. Po-Ching ---

Bro 2.x doesn't support that anymore as the logs no longer use the open\*() functions but go through the internal logging system. You could work around it by definining a post-processor which takes the log file and copies/appends it to somewhere else. Robin ---
