OK, but are you actually using different users for the processes that write test1
and test2? How do you start those processes? A shell script, compiled executable?
Try logging as those users and run:
Code:
locale

Then compare the outputs.

Below is the output for locale from the non-working machine
Quote:
LANG=C
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=
and below is the one from the working machine

I will start these processes as a root user and with the help of an executable file, So the above output was gathered by logging in as a root user.

Could you post the exact command line that you use to start test1 and test2?

As it is obviously always the same process logging (ldap-mail[2395]) and the logs have the same time stamp, would it be possible there's two syslog daemon processes running? Would make more sense to me, as the interface to syslog is binary afaik, formatting is done in syslogd. On the other hand, what about file locking?

Given the strings test[1-4], I suppose that the OP is testing the process execution of two processes with different locale settings.
You can log to syslog anything you want via the logger utility.
