syslog generally keeps its destination files open:
Obviously two programs can't/shouldn't be writing to the same file. There are also syslog-specific reasons for not wanting to do it this way: What if I'm doing a remote syslog? If you're logging directly to files you don't get to take advantage of that and if you want to build that funtionality in yourself then your job is just that much harder. What if the sysadmin wants your logs to go to two different files? etc, etc.
These are the problems the syslog daemon was created to resolve: make a single program broker access to the logging system, then you can solve common problems in one place and in a way that doesn't lead to programs clobbering the work of others.
Most languages have syslog bindings anyways so there's very little reason to want to do it a different way.

evmd
evmd(8) System Manager's Manual evmd(8)NAME
evmd - Event Manager daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/evmd
OPTIONS
None
OPERANDS
None
DESCRIPTION
The EVM daemon, evmd, receives events from posting clients and distributes them to subscribing clients that have indicated that they are
interested in receiving them. The daemon is a critical system facility that is started automatically when the system transitions to level
2, and which should not be terminated. The daemon in turn starts the logger, evmlogger, and the channel manager, evmchmgr.
On startup, the daemon reads its configuration file, /etc/evmdaemon.conf, the authorization file, /etc/evm.auth, and the event template
files stored under the /usr/share/evm/templates directory. If these files are modified while the daemon is running, the evmreload -d(8)
command must be used to instruct the daemon to reconfigure itself.
The system administrator can control access to events at any level by modifying the EVM authorization file, /etc/evm.auth.
As a daemon, evmd does not have a standard output. Any error messages are written to the file /var/evm/adm/logfiles/evmdaemon.log.
The daemon reconfigures itself when evmreload -d is run, or upon receipt of a SIGHUP signal.
RESTRICTIONS
The daemon rejects any attempt by a posting client to post an event that is not registered, that contains invalid item values, or that the
poster is not authorized to post.
EXIT VALUES
The following exit values are returned: Successful completion An error occurred
FILES
Executable file Default directory for event template files. Default location for event filter files. Filter files must have the suffix
.evf. Error log file for evmd. UNIX domain socket established for connection between the EVM daemon and the local clients. Daemon
process id saved by evmd. Lock file established to prevent multiple invocations of the daemon. Default location of the EVM daemon config-
uration file. Default location of the EVM daemon authorization file.
