dgssyslog(1M) DG/UX 5.4.2 dgssyslog(1M)
NAME
dgssyslog - Data General syslog interface daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/dgssyslog
DESCRIPTION
The dgssyslog daemon processes information it receives from
the syslogd daemon. It packetizes the information, and sends
it to the dgsvcd daemon to be called out.
In order for syslogd to send information it receives to
dgssyslog, /etc/syslog.conf must be modified by the system
administrator. The line that should be added is:
kern.crit /var/adm/dgsvcmgr/log.com
This will allow syslogd to send any critical kernel message
to dgssyslog. Without this modification dgssyslog will
never receive any information from syslogd. The syslogd
daemon is automatically stopped and started by the
dgssyslog daemon.
EXAMPLES
The following error was received by the syslogd daemon, sent
to the dgssyslog daemon, and written to
/var/adm/dgsvcmgr/dgsvcdlog:
(11-7-91 11:47:0) (dgssyslog) 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.

DIAGNOSTICS

2) it can't connect via a socket to dgsvcd, or 3) it can't
connect via a pipe to syslogd.
