SYSLOG-FACILITY !!!SYSLOG-FACILITY NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION BUGS SEE ALSO ---- !!NAME syslog-facility - Setup and remove LOCALx facility for sysklogd !!SYNOPSIS __syslog-facility set__ ''set_of_priority log_file'' ... __syslog-facility remove__ ''facility'' !!DESCRIPTION __syslog-facility__ can be used to setup a syslog facility and to remove it. The primary use of this perl script is to allow packages to automatically setup (and remove) a LOCALx facility. With the first argument beeing ''set'', it will output a string containing the first free LOCALx facility that has been assigned to your request : # syslog-facility set all /var/log/sympa local0 This does mean that a line ``local0.* /var/log/sympa'' has been added to the syslog.conf file. If no free LOCALx facility has been found, then it outputs ``none'' (with a end of line). You can use different set of priorities (most of what syslogd supports) : # syslog-facility set 'all;!=debug;' /var/log/sympa '=debug' /var/log/sympa-d local1 Pay particular attention to shell escapes since ';','!' have special meanings for them. The syntax is similar to syslog.conf except that '*' must be replaced by 'all'. In that case you will have two lines added two the syslog.conf file : local1.*;local1.!=debug /var/log/sympa local1.=debug /var/log/sympa-d If the first argument is ''remove'', then it will remove all references to a precise LOCALx facility. Example : # syslog-facility remove local1 It will remove all references to the local1 facility. !!BUGS The script doesn't know about multi-lines configuration (ie with ''). With a line like that ``mail,local0.* /anything'', ``syslog-facility remove local0'' would remove the entire line. It should not be a problem since lines installed by this script cannot use this syntax. !!SEE ALSO syslog.conf(5), sysklogd(8). ----
