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.
