# logger
|
|
|
|
> Add messages to syslog (/var/log/syslog).
|
|
|
|
- Log a message to syslog:
|
|
|
|
`logger {{message}}`
|
|
|
|
- Take input from `stdin` and log to syslog:
|
|
|
|
`echo {{log_entry}} | logger`
|
|
|
|
- Send the output to a remote syslog server running at a given port. Default port is 514:
|
|
|
|
`echo {{log_entry}} | logger -h {{hostname}} -P {{port}}`
|
|
|
|
- Use a specific tag for every line logged. Default is the name of logged in user:
|
|
|
|
`echo {{log_entry}} | logger -t {{tag}}`
|
|
|
|
- Log messages with a given priority. Default is `user.notice`. See `man logger` for all priority options:
|
|
|
|
`echo {{log_entry}} | logger -p {{user.warning}}`
|
