[Bill McNAMARA_1]

man 3C syslog
for info on how applications write to the syslog.

The /etc/syslog.conf can filter what alert levels get written. see syslogd(1M) for more info on that file.

Later,
Bill

you could start syslog in debug mode and you will see which applications send what
facility/priority messages.

/sbin/init/syslogd stop
/usr/sbin/syslogd -k

Now watch syslog.log

Hi,

Stop present syslog service. You start Syslog with -d option
#syslog -d
it will start syslog in debugging in mode, which gives details about each message that is written to syslog.log

Also check the following link.

SORRY:

syslogd -d of course not -k

Hi,

If I understand you right you are looking for the tool "logger". This is a way to handy tool I always use, please look at the examples of the man-page. It's as easy as that.
