sissylog(8)             persistent process supervision             sissylog(8)



NAME
       sissylog - log stdin to syslog(3)

SYNOPSIS
       sissylog [-hV] [ ident [ facility ]]

DESCRIPTION
       sissylog  reads lines from standard input and writes them to the system
       logger with syslog(3).

       If an ident  argument  is  specified,  sissylog  prepends  log  entries
       accordingly.  Otherwise, entries are prepended with the identity string
       ``sissylog''.

       If a facility argument is specified, it should be  in  the  form  of  a
       string  selected  from the following list: LOG_AUTH, LOG_CRON, LOG_DAE-
       MON,  LOG_FTP,  LOG_KERN,  LOG_LPR,  LOG_MAIL,  LOG_NEWS,   LOG_SYSLOG,
       LOG_USER,  or  LOG_UUCP.   sissylog  will  use a corresponding facility
       argument with openlog(8).  If the facility argument is not specified or
       not recognized, sissylog will use the facility LOG_DAEMON by default.

       sissylog  inspects the beginning of each line for alert:, error:, warn-
       ing:, notice:, or debug:, and sets  the  priority  of  each  log  entry
       accordingly.  Otherwise, entries are made with the LOG_INFO priority by
       default.

       sissylog splits lines longer than 800 characters, prepending  continued
       lines  with  a  `+'  character.  sissylog does not log empty lines, and
       converts unprintable control characters to `?'.
