Well, on my Solaris I've found something interesting in log(7D). As I understand online manuals I skimmed, you need to write program which will catch all messages, going to STREAM driver in /dev/log... Whether it's possible or not I can't say now

SYSLOG-SUMMARY(1)					    Syslog-Summary User Manual						 SYSLOG-SUMMARY(1)

NAME
syslog-summary - summarize the contents of a syslog log file SYNOPSIS
syslog-summary [-s | --state= filename] [-i | --ignore= filename] [-d | --debug] [-r | --repeat] logfile... syslog-summary [-h | --help] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the syslog-summary command. syslog-summary summarizes the contents of log files via the syslog(3) service, by displaying each unique (except for the time) line once, and also the number of times such a line occurs in the input. The lines are displayed in the order they occur in the input. OPTIONS
-i filename, --ignore=filename Read regular expressions from filename and ignore lines in the logfiles that match them. -s filename, --state=filename Read state information from filename. The state contains information about the already reported parts of a log file, and prevents syslog-summary from reporting the same things many times. This is useful when syslog-summary is run from crontab every hour. The file is created, if it doesn't exist already. -r, --repeat Merge "last message repeated * times" lines with the repeated event. -d, --debug Enable verbose messages when errors occur (i.e. "debug mode"). -h, --help Show summary of options. FILES
/etc/syslog-summary/ignore.rules Default ignore.rules file with default regular expressions. DIAGNOSTICS
When reporting a bug, please run syslog-summary with the -d (or --debug) flag enabled. syslog-summary provides some return codes, that can be used in scripts: Code Diagnostic 0 Program exited successfully. 1 Something went wrong, please run the program with the debug messages enabled. AUTHORS
