amsyslog(1M)                                                      amsyslog(1M)



NAME
     amsyslog - parse system log files and print critical messages

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/etc/amsyslog [ -p prioritylevel ] [ -S syslogfile ]
          [ -O oldsyslogfile ] [ -d ]

DESCRIPTION
     amsyslog parses system log files and prints messages of a specified (or
     higher) priority.  The default system log files are /var/adm/SYSLOG and
     /var/adm/oSYSLOG.  The default priority level is 4 (warning, error and
     critical messages).  Repeated messages in any order are recorded once, at
     the point of first occurrence, with the repetition count and the last
     time stamp shown at the end of the message, delimited by "<" and ">".
     This includes interspersed multiple sequences of repeated messages.

     The options are:

     -p prioritylevel
          Specify priority level (0-6)

     -S syslogfile
          Specify system syslog file.

     -O oldsyslogfile
          Specify rotated old system syslog file.

     -d   Print duplicated messages as they appear in syslog files.

     amsyslog ignores messages before the last reboot.  It is called to
     include system log information in any availmon(5) diagnosis report for a
     system crash.
