NAME

       splogger - make entries in syslog

SYNOPSIS

       splogger [ tag [ fac ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       splogger reads a series of messages and feeds them to syslog.  At the front of each message it puts tag (default: splogger) and a numerical
       timestamp.

       splogger checks for alert: or warning: at the beginning of each message.  It selects a priority	of  LOG_ALERT,	LOG_WARNING,  or  LOG_INFO
       accordingly.

       splogger logs messages with facility fac.  fac (default: 2) must be numeric.

       splogger converts unprintable characters to question marks.

       splogger does not log blank lines.

       splogger  folds	messages  after  800  characters,  since syslog can't handle long messages.  splogger uses a + after the timestamp to mark
       folded lines.

       Note that the syslog mechanism is inherently unreliable: it does not guarantee that messages will be logged.  It is also very slow.

NAME

       lr_desyslog - strip syslog style header from logfile line

SYNOPSIS

       lr_desyslog program

DESCRIPTION

       lr_desyslog removes a syslog style timestamp, hostname, and program, and prints the remaining stuff given on stdin to stdout. E.g, when
       invoked as lr_desyslog qmail, it throws away things like 'Oct 29 10:07:44 gelfand qmail:', and keeps '972810464.240168 end msg 6161'. This
       is useful when processing qmail logs, which are processed by splogger.

TODO

       Handle pid's in program syslog tag.
