sissylog(8)		 persistent process supervision 	     sissylog(8)

NAME
     sissylog - log stdin to syslog(3)

SYNOPSIS
     sissylog [-hV] [ ident [ facility ]]

DESCRIPTION
     sissylog reads lines from standard input and writes them to the system log-
     ger with syslog(3).

     If  an  ident  argument is specified, sissylog prepends log entries accord-
     ingly.  Otherwise, entries are prepended with the identity string	``sissy-
     log''.

     If  a  facility argument is specified, it should be in the form of a string
     selected from the following list: LOG_AUTH, LOG_CRON, LOG_DAEMON,	LOG_FTP,
     LOG_KERN,	LOG_LPR,  LOG_MAIL, LOG_NEWS, LOG_SYSLOG, LOG_USER, or LOG_UUCP.
     sissylog will use a corresponding facility argument  with	openlog(8).   If
     the facility argument is not specified or not recognized, sissylog will use
     the facility LOG_DAEMON by default.

     sissylog  inspects the beginning of each line for alert:, error:, warning:,
     notice:, or debug:, and sets the priority of each	log  entry  accordingly.
     Otherwise, entries are made with the LOG_INFO priority by default.

     sissylog  splits  lines  longer  than  800 characters, prepending continued
     lines with a `+' character.  sissylog does not log empty  lines,  and  con-
     verts unprintable control characters to `?'.

OPTIONS
     -h     Help.  Print a brief usage message to stderr and exit.

     -V     Version.  Print the version number to stderr and exit.
