1 | errlogger(1) |
| 2 | ============ | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | NAME | |
| 5 | ---- | |
| 6 | errlogger - Redirect standard error of a program to the system log | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 9 | -------- | |
| 10 | *errlogger* [*-h*] [*-n* 'NAME'] [*-f* 'FACILITY'] [*-p* 'PRIORITY'] 'PROGRAM' ['ARGS'...] | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 13 | ----------- | |
| 14 | ||
| 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 | |
| 18 | log. | |
| 19 | ||
| 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. | |
| 23 | ||
| 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. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | OPTIONS | |
| 29 | ------- | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | *-h*:: | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | Print a brief help message to standard output and exit. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | *-n* 'NAME':: | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | Use 'NAME' as the log identification. If not given, 'PROGRAM' | |
| 38 | will be used by default. | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | *-f* 'FACILITY':: | |
| 41 | ||
| 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. | |
