dslog [options] name
The dslog program sends lines given as standard input to the system
logger, one line at a time, with a selectable priority, facility and origin
program name.
Command line options:
| -p PRIORITY, --priority PRIORITY | |
Priority of messages. Refer to syslog(3) to see possible
values. Just pass any valid priority without the LOG_
prefix. Case does not matter. | |
| -f FACILITY, --facility FACILITY | |
Logging facility. Refer to syslog(3) to see possible values.
Just pass any valid facility without the LOG_ prefix. Case
does not matter. | |
| -i NUMBER, --input-fd NUMBER | |
Use file descriptor NUMBER to read input. By default the
standard input descriptor (number 0) is used. | |
| -c, --console | If a message cannot be sent to the system logger, print a copy of it to the system console. |
| -e, --skip-empty | |
| Ignore empty input lines. An empty line is one that does not contain any characters; a line which contains whitespace is not considered empty. | |
| -h, --help | Show a summary of available options. |
Albeit it can be used stan-alone, most of the time you will be running
dslog under a process control tool like dmon(8) or supervise(8).
Additional options will be picked from the DSLOG_OPTIONS environment
variable, if defined. Any command line option can be specified this way.
Arguments read from the environment variable will be prepended to the ones
given in the command line, so they may still be overriden.
