msglog

msglog(7D)							      Devices								msglog(7D)

NAME

       msglog - message output collection from system startup or background applications

SYNOPSIS

       /dev/msglog

DESCRIPTION

       Output from system startup ("rc") scripts is directed to /dev/msglog, which dispatches it appropriately.

NOTES

       In  the	current  version of Solaris, /dev/msglog is an alias for /dev/sysmsg.  In future versions of Solaris, writes to /dev/msglog may be
       directed into a	more general logging mechanism such as syslogd(1M).

       syslog(3C) provides a more general logging mechanism  than /dev/msglog and should be used in preference to /dev/msglog whenever possible.
