Logger 08293.0159 (Default branch)
Logger is a log queueing and optimization utility. It can completely replace sys/klogd, handle logs larger than 2GB, perform automatic nightly log rotation without affecting services, and transfer logs between machines via TCP connections. Any application that writes a text log can be maintained by Logger. It is light, small, and fast, emphasizes security, and reduces drive usage through memory queueing. License: GNU General Public License v2 Changes:
This critical upgrade addresses the issue with the random segfaults. The TCP connections are now UDP. This change has been made in such a way that the config file doesn't need to be changed. If you want to, though, simply replace TCP with UDP. The segfaults actually occurred due to the TCP connection stack running out of space. Switching to UDP is the best approach until something like T/TCP or similar is available in Linux. Image

     -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.
