initlog

initlog(8)						      System Manager's Manual							initlog(8)

NAME

       initlog - log messages and events to the system logger

SYNOPSIS

       initlog [-cefnpqrs] [--cmd=ARG] [--event=ARG] [--facility=ARG] [--name=ARG] [--priority=ARG] [--run=ARG] [--string=ARG]

DESCRIPTION

       initlog	logs  messages and events to the system logger.  It is mainly designed for use in init scripts. initlog reads a configuration file
       /etc/initlog.conf by default, to determine its settings. Any line preceded with a # is a comment, and the  following  configuration  direc-
       tives are recognized:

       facility <logging facility>
	      Sets the default logging facility

       priority <logging priority>
	      Sets the default logging priority

       ignore <regexp>
	      Messages that match the regular expression will not be logged.

       initlog behavior can also be configured by command-line options.

   OPTIONS
       -c, --cmd=[program]
	      Execute the specified program, logging anything output to stdout or stderr.

       -e, --event=[number]
	      Logs that the specified event happened. Used in conjuction with --name. Currently specified events are:
	       1  the action completed successfully
	       2  the action failed
	       3  the action was cancelled at user request
	       4  the action failed due to the failure of a dependent action

       -f, --facility=[facility]
	      Log at the specified syslog facility. The default is daemon (see syslog(3)).

       -n, --name=[string]
	      Log the event under the specified string, such as "inetd".

       -p, --priority=[priority]
	      Log at the specified syslog priority. The default is notice (see syslog(3)).

       -q     Do not print the program's output, unless it exits with a non-zero exit code.

       -r, --run=[program]
	      Execute the specified program, with an open file descriptor so that the program can pass back commands to initlog.

       -s, --string=[string]
	      Log the specified string to the logger.

       --conf=[file]
	      Specifies an alternate configuration file.

FILES

       /etc/initlog.conf
