logger

> Add messages to syslog (/var/log/syslog).

Log a message to syslog:

logger {message}

Take input from stdin and log to syslog:

echo {log_entry} | logger

Send the output to a remote syslog server running at a given port. Default port is 514:

echo {log_entry} | logger --server {hostname} --port {port}

Use a specific tag for every line logged. Default is the name of logged in user:

echo {log_entry} | logger --tag {tag}

Log messages with a given priority. Default is `user.notice`. See `man logger` for all priority options:

echo {log_entry} | logger --priority {user.warning}
