.SH DESCRIPTION
|

|
|
The \fBpostlog\fR command implements a Postfix-compatible logging
|
|
interface for use in, for example, shell scripts.
|
|
|
|
By default, \fBpostlog\fR logs the \fItext\fR given on the command
|
|
line as one record. If no \fItext\fR is specified on the command
|
|
line, \fBpostlog\fR reads from standard input and logs each input
|
|
line as one record.
|
|
|
|
Logging is sent to \fBsyslogd\fR(8); when the standard error stream
|
|
is connected to a terminal, logging is sent there as well.
|
|
|
|
The following options are implemented:
|
|
.IP \fB-i\fR
|
|
Include the process ID in the logging tag.
|
|
.IP "\fB-p \fIpriority\fR"
|
|
Specifies the logging severity: \fBinfo\fR (default), \fBwarn\fR,
|
|
\fBerror\fR, \fBfatal\fR, or \fBpanic\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fB-t \fItag\fR"
|
|
Specifies the logging tag, that is, the identifying name that
|
|
appears at the beginning of each logging record.
|
|
.IP \fB-v\fR
|
|
Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple \fB-v\fR
|
|
options make the software increasingly verbose.
