Ruby - Ensure Syslog Gets Closed
Is it absolutely critical that I always close Syslog when I'm done using it? Is there a huge negative impact from not doing so?

If it turns out that I definitely need to, what's a good way to do it? I'm opening Syslog in my class constructor and I don't see a way to do class destructors in Ruby, and currently have something resembling this:

    class Foo
      def initialize
        @@log = Syslog.open("foo")
      end
    end

I don't immediately see the place where the `Syslog.close` call should be, but what do you recommend?
