SYNOPSIS

       splogger	[ tag [	fac ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       splogger	 reads	a series of messages and feeds them to syslog.	At the
       front of	each message it	puts tag (default: splogger) and  a  numerical
       timestamp.

       splogger	 checks	 for  alert: or	warning: at the	beginning of each mes-
       sage.  It selects a priority of	LOG_ALERT,  LOG_WARNING,  or  LOG_INFO
       accordingly.

       splogger	 logs  messages	 with  facility	fac.  fac (default: 2) must be
       numeric.

       splogger	converts unprintable characters	to question marks.

       splogger	does not log blank lines.

       splogger	folds messages after 800 characters, since syslog can't	handle
       long  messages.	 splogger  uses	a + after the timestamp	to mark	folded
       lines.

       Note that the syslog mechanism is inherently unreliable:	 it  does  not
       guarantee that messages will be logged.	It is also very	slow.
