I think that locally running syslogd > is able to redirect the logs to remote syslog server. Of course, for normal operations using syslogd is the best way. But there a also several occasions where this patch is quite useful: Personally I find it quite useful for checking remote syslog servers by sending a short test message because I do not have to setup syslogd each time. In our environment we use it because we also have a lot of standardized servers which we do not want to reconfigure very often (would be a real pain). On these servers a lot of unprivileged users run custom applications and self-made shell scripts. Thus this patch is a low effort way to allow these users to log messages to their central syslog servers. > > The patch looks fine to me, but it'd be nice to have an update to > logger.8 man page too. sorry, here it is: --- a/misc-utils/logger.1 2010-05-19 23:36:23.000000000 +0200 +++ b/misc-utils/logger.1 2011-02-08 07:36:18.222200561 +0100 @@ -46,6 +46,8 @@ .Op Fl p Ar pri .Op Fl t Ar tag .Op Fl u Ar socket +.Op Fl n Ar server +.Op Fl P Ar udpport .Op Ar message ... .Sh DESCRIPTION .Nm Logger @@ -83,6 +85,14 @@ instead of builtin syslog routines. .It Fl d Use a datagram instead of a stream connection to this socket. +.It Fl n Ar serv +Write to remote syslog server using UDP as specified with +.Ar server +instead of builtin syslog routines. +.It Fl P Ar port +Change UDP port to the value as specified with +.Ar udpport . +Default port number is 514. .It -- End the argument list.
