I'm attempting to script a log viewer to pull out significant events from a
system log and I am having some trouble with priority codes. A section in
the man page on syslogd states about the log output format:
Each message is one line. A message can contain a priority code, marked by
a digit enclosed in < > (angle braces) at the beginning of the line.
Messages longer than 900 bytes may be truncated.
In my /etc/syslog.conf, I have:
local6.info /foo/sshell.log
I've attempted to create some test log messages with:
logger -p local6.emerg this is only a test
Which produces this in /foo/sshell.log:
Apr 30 16:12:13 zcynsm2 root: this is only a test
The output does not show the priority code (emerg, or 0, in this case). How
do I get the priority code to be listed in the log as well so I can get my
log viewer to differentiate message priority?
I'm expecting the priority to be displayed as stated above in the man
pages.
Thanks!!
