Bruno,

You cannot make errpt write to the syslog file. The data in errpt is
generated by the errdemon daemon. The data in syslog is generated by the
syslogd daemon.

You can get AIX to log messages to syslog files by modifying the
/etc/syslog.conf file but they will not be nearly as informative as the
messages in errpt.
