dklogger - Syslog message sender
================================


Overview
--------

The dklogger program sends messages to syslog server(s).
It is intended for systems without a logger program.


Command line
------------

dklogger -p <feature>.<priority> <text>

The <feature> arguments chooses a syslog feature, choose one of:
"local0", "local1", "local2", "local3", "local4", "local5", "local6", "local7",
"auth", "authpriv", "cron", "daemon", "ftp", "kern", "lpr", "mail", "mark",
"news", "security", "syslog", "user" or "uucp".
Note: Some of the features are assigned for use by specific sub-systems,
i.e. the e-mail daemons, NNTP daemons...

The priority values are "alert", "crit", "debug", "emerg", "error", "info",
"none", "notice", "panic" and "warning".

Configuration
-------------

Messages can go to up to ten servers. The DNS host names or IP addresses
must be configured in the

  /syslog/host/001/destination ... /syslog/host/010/destination

preferences. Optionally one can add a portnumber to the host name
or IP address, separated by a colon. By default 514 is used.
