Forwarding ET logging to address

Is it possible to somehow forward the consolelog to an address/port? (somewhat like pb_sv_logaddr for punkbuster loggin, but now for all ET/ETPro logging). Maybe by an ETPro function or LUA script?
If it's currently not available, would someone be so kind to help me out with a script?

just a late night brainstorm:
write a bash script wich emails your etconsole.log, and empties the current one
put that script in your daily cron

or a perl script that tails and sends it off somewhere.
But to answer your question, there is no way to do this natively with ET.

The et logfiles are written with a buffer. If i would send it 'live' it would overload the server (since the servers are quite large and crowded). I'm really looking for some way of real-time communication. Maybe a feature-request for a new ETPro release?

ETPro cannot do this, since logging is in the engine.
Your best bet is a program that reads the output like etadmin_mod and sends it off wherever you want.
