Here is a previous thread that discusses syslog logging.

I have also reviewed the http://www.scramble.net/syslog.htm document and I find it useful. The answer to your specific question is in this document.

*.emerg root

This will send emergency messages to root

Hi Ivan ,

You can use EMS to get the alert notified with Email, its better and any major or warning or critical event will be emailed you .

Syslog cannot send email messages. You must use another application to that.

Hi,
Wat you can do is configure that syslog send it's alerts to root our other user.
configure sendmail so emails can be send to yor adress. then in /etc/mail/aliases put your email adress for root our the other user.
There fore all root messages will be send to you.

grtz. Mark

Hi Ivan,

- Configure syslog.conf options to send mail to root.

- Configure /etc/aliases. Example:
root : root,ivan
ivan : ivan,ivan@xxxxxxxxxx.yyy

# /usr/sbin/newaliases
