postlog
SYNOPSIS
postlog [-iv] [-c config_dir] [-p priority] [-t tag]
[text...]
DESCRIPTION
The postlog command implements a Postfix-compatible log
ging interface for use in, for example, shell scripts.
By default, postlog logs the text given on the command
line as one record. If no text is specified on the command
line, postlog reads from standard input and logs each
input line as one record.
Logging is sent to syslogd(8); when the standard error
stream is connected to a terminal, logging is sent there
as well.
The following options are implemented:
-c config_dir
Read the main.cf configuration file in the named
directory instead of the default configuration
directory.
-i Include the process ID in the logging tag.
-p priority
Specifies the logging severity: info (default),
warn, error, fatal, or panic.
-t tag Specifies the logging tag, that is, the identifying
name that appears at the beginning of each logging
record.
-v Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Mul
tiple -v options make the software increasingly
verbose.
