POSTLOG(1) POSTLOG(1)
<b>NAME</b>
postlog - Postfix-compatible logging utility
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<b>postlog</b> [<b>-iv</b>] [<b>-c</b> <i>config_dir</i>] [<b>-p</b> <i>priority</i><b>]</b> <b>[-t</b> <i>tag</i>]
[<i>text...</i>]
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
The <b>postlog</b> command implements a Postfix-compatible log-
ging interface for use in, for example, shell scripts.
By default, <b>postlog</b> logs the <i>text</i> given on the command
line as one record. If no <i>text</i> is specified on the command
line, <b>postlog</b> reads from standard input and logs each
input line as one record.
Logging is sent to <b>syslogd</b>(8); when the standard error
stream is connected to a terminal, logging is sent there
as well.
The following options are implemented:
<b>-c</b> <i>config_dir</i>
Read the <b>main.cf</b> configuration file in the named
directory instead of the default configuration
directory.
<b>-i</b> Include the process ID in the logging tag.
<b>-p</b> <i>priority</i>
Specifies the logging severity: <b>info</b> (default),
<b>warn</b>, <b>error</b>, <b>fatal</b>, or <b>panic</b>.
<b>-t</b> <i>tag</i> Specifies the logging tag, that is, the identifying
name that appears at the beginning of each logging
record.
<b>-v</b> Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Mul-
tiple <b>-v</b> options make the software increasingly
verbose.
<b>SEE</b> <b>ALSO</b>
syslogd(8) syslog daemon.
