6 errlogger - Redirect standard error of a program to the system log
10 *errlogger* [*-h*] [*-n* 'NAME'] [*-f* 'FACILITY'] [*-p* 'PRIORITY'] 'PROGRAM' ['ARGS'...]
15 *errlogger* starts the given 'PROGRAM' with its standard error
16 connected to a (write-only) pipe, the other end of which *errlogger*
17 will read lines from. Every line so read will be logged to the system
20 The utility of *errlogger* is in the ability to log error messages
21 from programs connected to no other saved output, such as programs
22 started by *ashd*(7) in daemon mode.
24 *errlogger* will exit as soon as it reads end-of-file on its end of
25 the pipe; that is, when the write-end of the pipe is closed, which
26 will usually happen when the program exits.
33 Print a brief help message to standard output and exit.
37 Use 'NAME' as the log identification. If not given, 'PROGRAM'
38 will be used by default.
42 Log to the given log facility, which may be any of *auth*,
43 *authpriv*, *cron*, *daemon*, *ftp*, *kern*, *lpr*, *mail*,
44 *news*, *user*, *uucp* or *local0* through *local7*. By
45 default, *daemon* is used.
49 Log at the given log priority, which may be any of *emerg*,
50 *alert*, *crit*, *err*, *warning*, *notice*, *info* or
51 *debug*. By default, *warning* is used.
