Add messages to syslog (/var/log/syslog). More information: <https://manned.org/logger>.

  • Log a message to syslog:
    logger message
  • Take input from `stdin` and log to syslog:
    echo log_entry | logger
  • Send the output to a remote syslog server running at a given port. Default port is 514:
    echo log_entry | logger --server hostname --port port
  • Use a specific tag for every line logged. Default is the name of logged in user:
    echo log_entry | logger --tag tag
  • Log messages with a given priority. Default is `user.notice`. See `man logger` for all priority options:
    echo log_entry | logger --priority user.warning
