NAME
       dgssyslog - Data General syslog interface daemon

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/dgssyslog

DESCRIPTION
       The dgssyslog 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 dgsvcd 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 dgssyslog 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
       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.

FILES
       /var/adm/dgsvcmgr/dgsvcdlog       The log file for dgssyslog.

       /var/adm/dgsvcmgr/log.com          The pipe to communicate with                                                    syslogd.

       /var/adm/dgsvcmgr/.sv.pipe         The pipe to communicate with                                                    dgsvcd.

       /etc/syslog.conf                   The syslogd configuration file.

DIAGNOSTICS
       dgssyslog exits if:
        1) It cannot initiate a process to run in
        2) It cannot connect to dgsvcd to report an error
        3) It cannot connect to syslogd
