NAME
dgs_syslog - Data General syslog interface daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/dgs_syslog
DESCRIPTION
The dgs_syslog daemon processes error information it
receives from the syslogd daemon. It creates an AV/Alert
machine initiated packet with this information and forwards
it to the dgsvc_d daemon. With AV/Alert support enabled, for
Data General warranty and contract customers, the daemon
will automatically send the information to the designated
Data General service center.
The syslogd daemon will send any errors above the level of
kern.crit to the dgs_syslog daemon. This is determined by
the line below that exists in /etc/syslog.conf:
kern.crit /var/adm/dgsvcmgr/log.com
EXAMPLES
The following error was received by the syslogd daemon, sent
to the dgs_syslog daemon, and written to
/var/adm/dgsvcmgr/dgsvcd_log:
(11-7-91 11:47:0) (dgs_syslog) Error : Nov 7 11:47:00
system_name test: message
This message indicates that a program called test sent the
message "message" to the syslogd daemon.
