Help Plse: need sources for logger(1)

Post by Michael Grigon » Sat, 02 Jun 2001 09:23:12



Greetings:

In reading the release notes for 4.1.1, it is mentioned that logger(1)
now can post messages to remote syslog hosts.

We'd like to port this logger to our SVR4 platform. Inspecting the
FTP distribution tree failed to find the utility in the source tree
(there is no documentation as to where it is located).  A syslog
package didn't contain logger.

We'd very much appreciate either a pointer to where to snarf it or
for someone to email it (the package, e.g. with makefile, headers,
etc.)

All replies much appreciated.

Here's current source:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/src/usr.bin/logger/

Might also want to look at:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/src/usr.sbin/sysl...

and

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/src/sys/sys/syslog.h

It's there , right under your nose ( provided you installed sources ...) :
Quote:> locate logger

/usr/bin/logger
/usr/share/man/man1/logger.1.gz
/usr/src/usr.bin/logger
/usr/src/usr.bin/logger/Makefile
/usr/src/usr.bin/logger/logger.1
/usr/src/usr.bin/logger/logger.c

We don't have a FreeBSD system and downloading the entire split
compressed source tree to find it seemed excessive on a dialup...

Thanks to Paul Southworth for pointing us to a different FTP path...
