...and if you really want this (or other info) then use logger (debian
package bsdutils) to send it to syslog. That way it is easy for the
local sysadmin from a central place to redirect to another host, store
in a specific file or even (for some syslog daemons) send the message as
an email.
Have a look here for hints setting up a logging server:
