POSTLOG(1) POSTLOG(1)
<b>NAME</b>
postlog - Postfix-compatible logging utility
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<b>postlog</b> [<b>-iv</b>] [<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>]
[<b>-p</b> <i>priority</i><b>] [-t</b> <i>tag</i>] [<i>text...</i>]
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
The <a href="postlog.1.html"><b>postlog</b>(1)</a> command implements a Postfix-compatible
logging interface for use in, for example, shell scripts.
By default, <a href="postlog.1.html"><b>postlog</b>(1)</a> logs the <i>text</i> given on the command
line as one record. If no <i>text</i> is specified on the command
line, <a href="postlog.1.html"><b>postlog</b>(1)</a> reads from standard input and logs each
input line as one record.
Logging is sent to <b>syslogd</b>(8); when the standard error
stream is connected to a terminal, logging is sent there
as well.
The following options are implemented:
<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>
Read the <b>main.cf</b> configuration file in the named
directory instead of the default configuration
directory.
<b>-i</b> Include the process ID in the logging tag.
<b>-p</b> <i>priority</i>
Specifies the logging severity: <b>info</b> (default),
<b>warn</b>, <b>error</b>, <b>fatal</b>, or <b>panic</b>.
<b>-t</b> <i>tag</i> Specifies the logging tag, that is, the identifying
name that appears at the beginning of each logging
record. A default tag is used when none is speci-
fied.
<b>-v</b> Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Mul-
tiple <b>-v</b> options make the software increasingly
verbose.
<b>ENVIRONMENT</b>
MAIL_CONFIG
Directory with the <b>main.cf</b> file.
<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b>
The following <b>main.cf</b> parameters are especially relevant
to this program.
The text below provides only a parameter summary. See

<b><a href="postconf.5.html#config_directory">config_directory</a> (see 'postconf -d' output)</b>
The default location of the Postfix main.cf and
master.cf configuration files.
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#syslog_facility">syslog_facility</a> (mail)</b>
