I think Vidyad meant that last line to be
mv syslog.log syslog.log.$date && gzip syslog.log.$date &&
scp syslog.gz jdoe@system.com:\home\jdoe\logs

But I'm not sure about that $date variable- does that work? I think in the shell I've been using I had to use `date` command instead.

SYNOPSIS
bool syslog (int $priority, string $message) DESCRIPTION
syslog(3) generates a log message that will be distributed by the system logger. For information on setting up a user defined log handler, see the syslog.conf(5) Unix manual page. More information on the syslog facili- ties and option can be found in the man pages for syslog(3) on Unix machines. PARAMETERS
o $priority -$priority is a combination of the facility and the level. Possible values are: syslog(3) Priorities (in descending order) +------------+------------------------------------+ | Constant | | | | | | | Description | | | | +------------+------------------------------------+ | | | | LOG_EMERG | | | | | | | system is unusable | | | | | | | | LOG_ALERT | | | | | | | action must be taken immediately | | | | | | | | LOG_CRIT | | | | | | | critical conditions | | | | | | | | LOG_ERR | | | | | | | error conditions | | | | | | | |LOG_WARNING | | | | | | | warning conditions | | | | | | | |LOG_NOTICE | | | | | | | normal, but significant, condition | | | | | | | | LOG_INFO | | | | | | | informational message | | | | | | | | LOG_DEBUG | | | | | | | debug-level message | | | | +------------+------------------------------------+ o $message - The message to send, except that the two characters %m will be replaced by the error message string (strerror) corresponding to the present value of errno. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Using syslog(3) <?php // open syslog, include the process ID and also send // the log to standard error, and use a user defined // logging mechanism openlog("myScriptLog", LOG_PID | LOG_PERROR, LOG_LOCAL0); // some code if (authorized_client()) { // do something } else { // unauthorized client! // log the attempt $access = date("Y/m/d H:i:s"); syslog(LOG_WARNING, "Unauthorized client: $access {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']} ({$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']})"); } closelog(); ?> NOTES
On Windows NT, the syslog service is emulated using the Event Log. Note Use of LOG_LOCAL0 through LOG_LOCAL7 for the $facility parameter of openlog(3) is not available in Windows. SEE ALSO
