syslog(1) General Commands Manual syslog(1)NAME
syslog - enables and disables printing to the console device, /dev/console, by the syslogd daemon.
SYNOPSIS
syslog [console_on | console_off]
OPERANDS
The arguments to this command are as follows: Starts printing to the console by the syslogd daemon. Stops printing to the console by the
syslogd daemon.
DESCRIPTION
Under certain circumstances you may need to control the volume of information messages displayed on the console device. The syslog command
enables you to control the syslogd daemon's capability to print messages to the console device.
Starting the syslogd daemon with the -s option has the same effect as using the following command: syslog console_off. You must be root
user to execute this command and the command will fail with no errors for any unauthorized user.
The information is still logged in a log file, providing that logging is enabled on your system.

SYSLOG(8) System Logging SYSLOG(8)NAME
syslog-ng, syslogd
DESCRIPTION
There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd
The first installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
But this depends on the software selection during the installation.
The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.
The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.
The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
