logger

LOGGER(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 LOGGER(1)

NAME

     logger -- a shell command interface to the syslog(3) system log module

SYNOPSIS

     logger [-isd] [-f file] [-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:

     -i       Log the process id of the logger process with each line.

     -s       Log the message to standard error, as well as the system log.

     -f file  Log the specified file.

     -p pri   Enter the message with the specified priority.  The priority may be specified numerically or as a ``facility.level'' pair.  For
	      example, ``-p local3.info'' logs the message(s) as informational level in the local3 facility.  The default is ``user.notice.''

     -t tag   Mark every line in the log with the specified tag.

     -u sock  Write to socket as specified with socket instead of builtin syslog routines.

     -d       Use a datagram instead of a stream connection to this socket.

     --       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.

     Valid facility names are: auth, authpriv (for security information of a sensitive nature), cron, daemon, ftp, kern (can't be generated from
     user process), lpr, mail, news, security (deprecated synonym for auth), syslog, user, uucp, and local0 to local7, inclusive.

     Valid level names are): alert, crit, debug, emerg, err, error (deprecated synonym for err), info, notice, panic (deprecated synonym for
     emerg), warning, warn (deprecated synonym for warning).  For the priority order and intended purposes of these levels, see syslog(3).

EXAMPLES

	   logger System rebooted

	   logger -p local0.notice -t HOSTIDM -f /dev/idmc

SEE ALSO

     syslog(3), syslogd(8)

STANDARDS

     The logger command is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.

AVAILABILITY

     The logger command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
