POSTLOG(1)                                             POSTLOG(1)


NAME
       postlog - Postfix-compatible logging utility

SYNOPSIS
       postlog [-i] [-p priority] [-t tag] [-v] [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:

       -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.
