- Log a message to syslog:
`logger {{message}}`
- Take input from `stdin` and log to syslog:
2016-11-16 07:48:49 +00:00
`echo {{log_entry}} | logger`
2016-11-16 07:48:49 +00:00
- Send the output to a remote syslog server running at a given port. Default port is 514:
2016-11-16 07:48:49 +00:00
`echo {{log_entry}} | logger --server {{hostname}} --port {{port}}`
2016-11-16 07:48:49 +00:00
- Use a specific tag for every line logged. Default is the name of logged in user:
`echo {{log_entry}} | logger --tag {{tag}}`
2016-11-16 07:48:49 +00:00
- Log messages with a given priority. Default is `user.notice`. See `man logger` for all priority options:
`echo {{log_entry}} | logger --priority {{user.warning}}`
