Logger::Syslog(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Logger::Syslog(3pm)NAME
Logger::Syslog -- an intuitive wrapper over Syslog for Perl
DESCRIPTION
You want to deal with syslog, but you don't want to bother with Sys::Syslog, that module is for you.
Logger::Syslog takes care of everything regarding the Syslog communication, all you have to do is to use the function you need to send a
message to syslog.
Logger::Syslog provides one function per Syslog message level: debug, info, warning, error, notice, critic, alert.
NOTES
Logger::Syslog is compliant with mod_perl, all you have to do when using it in such an environement is to call logger_init() at the
beginning of your CGI, that will garantee that everything will run smoothly (otherwise, issues with the syslog socket can happen in
mod_perl env).
SYNOPSIS
use Logger::Syslog;
info("Starting at ".localtime());
...
if ($error) {
error("An error occured!");
exit 1;
}
...
notice("There something to notify");
FUNCTIONS
logger_init
Call this to explicitly open a Syslog socket. You can optionaly specify a Syslog facility.
That function is called when you use the module, if you're not in a mod_perl environement.
Examples:
# open a syslog socket with default facility (user)
logger_init();
# open a syslog socket on the 'local' facility
logger_init('local');
logger_close
Call this to close the Syslog socket.
That function is called automatically when the calling program exits.
logger_prefix
That function lets you set a string that will be prefixed to every messages sent to syslog.
Example:
logger_prefix("my program");
info("starting");
...
info("stopping");
logger_set_default_facility(facility)
You can choose which facility to use, the default one is "user". Use that function if you want to switch smoothly from a facility to
another.
That function will close the existing socket and will open a new one with the appropriate facility.
Example:
logger_set_default_facility("cron");
LOGGING
Logger::Syslog provides one function per Syslog level to let you send messages. If you want to send a debug message, just use debug(), for
a warning, use warning() and so on...
All those function have the same signature : thay take a string as their only argument, which is the message to send to syslog.
Examples:
debug("my program starts at ".localtime());
...
warning("some strange stuff occured");
...
error("should not go there !");
...
notice("Here is my notice");

I want to create a new user and grant him ONLY transfer files access to a specific directory where he can only upload and read the files. He should be restricted to this activity only.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Hello for all,
I am testing the behavior of a 32 bit application running on Solaris 5.10 (SPARC), and realize it reaches 4GB of memory and then crashes.
It doesn't matter the amount of used memory as application is intended to perform many transactions; rather, what I want to achieve is to... (2 Replies)
