NAME
     emlog -- Event Monitor Log Scraper

SYNOPSIS
     emlog [-p udp_port] [-l]

DESCRIPTION
     emlog is a perl script that scans log messages either fed through stdin or via a local UDP port, looking for authentication failures and
     other security notices, and feeding them as events to the Event Monitor (emond)

     Options:

     -p udp_port_number
	      Tells emlog to listen on the given local port number, processing the UDP packets as single lines in a way compatible with syslogd

     -l       Tells emlog to process a single line of text then quit.

FILES
     /usr/libexec/emlog.pl			   The executable
     /usr/libexec/xssendevent			   Tool that sends events to emond
     /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.emlog.plist
