<title>Multiple instances</title>
<para>
It is possible to have multiple instances of the daemon in the system.
Each instance should use its own configuration file.
This could be done specifying <option>--conf</option> option or just placing
instances in different directories.
</para>
<para>
Each instance should be configured to listen on its own interface and/or port
and to write messages into its own log files.
</para>
<para>
If option <option>--instance</option> is not specified, the instance is default.
Otherwise, all other options will apply to the specified instance.
For example, to install a different instance with name <quote>test</quote> and
high priority issue the following command:
<screen>
syslogd --install --instance test --conf another.conf.file --priority high</screen>
Examples of control commands:
<screen>
syslogd --shutdown --instance test
syslogd --start --instance test</screen>
To remove instance the following command should be issued:
<screen>
syslogd --remove --instance test</screen>
</para>
