java with syslog
 

Hi,

I want to know whether from java is it possible to call the syslog utility of linux to log messages.

thanks

yes it's totally possible, just google for "java syslog" and you'll see a number of client apis

Hi acid_kewpie,

Thanks for your reply but all the api's are based on syslog utilities and I need to used the syslog.conf and linux syslog in my java program and I shell script we can use logger to log the message and If it is application the same logger can be used?

you app has no interest in syslog.conf syslogd on your system is just an implementation of the syslog standard, and your app needs to talk protocol and standards, not to a specfic program. As above, there are very clear libraries to do what you need. you should have already found yourself on this page already http://protomatter.sourceforge.net/l...og/Syslog.html for example

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. My requirement is , I need to send all the messages to the syslogd server which is running in the linux m/c .
