logger — Log messages
Format
Description
Options
logger [–IisTu] [–d dest] [–f filename] [–p priority] [–t tag] [–a tag2] string ...
logger saves a message in the console log; the message consists of the string
operand on the command line. Some options of logger may be in effect by default;
if they are on by default, they cannot be disabled.
The –u and –i options are in effect by default, so all messages from logger are
prefixed by process ID and user login user name.
If there is no message specified on the command line, the standard input is read;
each line of standard input is treated as a log message, and, thus, all terminal input
will be logged as a message. To stop all subsequent input from being processed by
logger, enter the designated escape character, such as ¢, followed by a captial C,
for example: ¢C.
If –f filename is specified, the file is read instead of the standard input.
–f filename
Reads log messages from the file filename rather than from the standard
input.
–I Adds the parent process ID (PPID) of logger to the message.
–i Adds the process ID (PID) of logger to the message. This option is in effect
by default, so all messages from logger are prefixed by the PID.
–s Overrides any destination options and causes logging to the standard error
output.
–T Adds a time stamp (%x %X format, per date) to the message. This time
stamp is always in the POSIX locale, no matter the locale of the message.
–u Adds the login name of the controlling terminal to the message. This option
is in effect by default, so all messages from logger are prefixed by the login
name.
Note: The following options work on z/OS. However, because they are
system-specific, they may or may not actually work on another system.
–d destination
Must be a list of numbers, separated by spaces, tabs, or commas, in the
range of 1 to 128, and represents a bit in the routing code number (that is,
ROUTCDE=) in the WTO macro. The default destination value is 0 (no bits
set in the routing code number).
If you use d1, the message goes to the system console.
–p priority
Must be a list of numbers, separated by spaces, tabs, or commas, in the
