Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net> * Package name : stdsyslog Version : 0.02 Upstream Author : Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net> * URL : http://devel.ringlet.net/sysutils/stdsyslog/ * License : BSD-2 Programming Lang: C Description : tool to log a program's output to the system log The stdsyslog utility executes a program, reads everything that it outputs to a set of file descriptors (by default the standard output and standard error streams) and logs it to the system log. Its command-line options include specifications of the syslog facility and the priorities that messages on the various file descriptors should be logged as. --- cut description, start a bit of comment on the reason for this Yes, I am indeed aware that this may be accomplished using logger(1) and skillful output-redirection-to-a-program in some shells, but somehow: stdsyslog -f local4 sprog args ...strikes me as a bit easier to type than: sprog args >(logger -p local4.info) 2>(logger -p local4.err) ...not to mention a bit more portable and also easier to use in automated program invocations :) G'luck, Peter
