Hi

LOGGER(1) User Commands LOGGER(1)
NAME
logger -- a shell command interface to the syslog(3) system log module
SYNOPSIS
logger [-dhisV] [-f file] [-n server] [-P port] [-p pri] [-t tag] [-u socket] [message]
DESCRIPTION
logger makes entries in the system log. It provides a shell command interface to the syslog(3) system log module.
Options:
-d, --udp
Use datagram (UDP) instead of the default stream connection (TCP).
-i, --id
Log the process ID of the logger process with each line.
-f, --file file
Log the contents of the specified file. This option cannot be combined with a command-line message.
-h, --help
Display a help text and exit.
-n, --server server
Write to the specified remote syslog server using UDP instead of to the builtin syslog routines.
-P, --port port
Use the specified UDP port. The default port number is 514.
-p, --priority priority
Enter the message into the log with the specified priority. The priority may be specified numerically or as a facility.level pair.
For example, -p local3.info logs the message as informational in the local3 facility. The default is user.notice.
-s, --stderr
Output the message to standard error as well as to the system log.
-t, --tag tag
Mark every line to be logged with the specified tag.
-u, --socket socket
Write to the specified socket instead of to the builtin syslog routines.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
-- End the argument list. This is to allow the message to start with a hyphen (-).
message Write the message to log; if not specified, and the -f flag is not provided, standard input is logged.
The logger utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

user process), lpr, mail, news, security (deprecated synonym for auth), syslog, user, uucp, and local0 to local7, inclusive.
