Read/write errors often get counted as "emergencies". Syslog doesn't distinguish between reading a CDROM and reading the swap device. So it prints it out to all users (which is what the line-ending '*') means.
One solution is to change this behavior so that it outputs such messages to a program which then determines if the message is important enough to send to a tty/console. Look for "swatch" and other similar syslog-action script-handlers.
Hi all
I have a RedHat Linux AS2.1 server that keep crashing/rebooting and there are no messages in the /var/log/messages file pointing to any problems.

Has anyone here configured a central syslog server using syslog-ng ?

So if you have a Solaris... (5 Replies)

Thanks in Advance,

log::dispatch::syslog
Log::Dispatch::Syslog(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Log::Dispatch::Syslog(3)NAME
Log::Dispatch::Syslog - Object for logging to system log.
SYNOPSIS
use Log::Dispatch;
my $log =
Log::Dispatch->new
( outputs =>
[ [ 'Syslog',
min_level => 'info',
ident => 'Yadda yadda' ]
]
);
$log->emerg( "Time to die." );
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a simple object for sending messages to the system log (via UNIX syslog calls).
Note that logging may fail if you try to pass UTF-8 characters in the log message. If logging fails and warnings are enabled, the error
message will be output using Perl's "warn".
CONSTRUCTOR
The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output:
o ident ($)
This string will be prepended to all messages in the system log. Defaults to $0.
o logopt ($)
A string containing the log options (separated by any separator you like). See the openlog(3) and Sys::Syslog docs for more details.
Defaults to ''.
o facility ($)
Specifies what type of program is doing the logging to the system log. Valid options are 'auth', 'authpriv', 'cron', 'daemon', 'kern',
'local0' through 'local7', 'mail, 'news', 'syslog', 'user', 'uucp'. Defaults to 'user'
o socket ($)
Tells what type of socket to use for sending syslog messages. Valid options are listed in "Sys::Syslog".
If you don't provide this, then we let "Sys::Syslog" simply pick one that works, which is the preferred option, as it makes your code
more portable.
