errlogd(1)

NAME
errlogd - error logging daemon for the rocat BBS System.

SYNOPSIS
errlogd

DESCRIPTION
Centralized error logger for the rocat BBS System. errlogd Acts as a centralized error logging system for the BBS System. It is expected that the error logging daemon will run on the main BBS System as a daemon (in the background). Output of errlogd is coded to go to $BBSDIR/admin/bbserr. errlogd ouptuts error messages locally when it is unable to start up. Otherwise, no output will be generated.

CONFIGURATION
errlogd requires no configuration other than the $BBSDIR environment variable. However, configuration of the BBS configuration file $BBSDIR/config/bbsinfo is necessary to point the BBS to the correct error logging machine. errlogd can be used as a centralized logging daemon for a number of internetworked computer systems. The configuration option LOGHOST should point to the machine that runs the error logging daemon.

BUGS
errlogd logs all errors to a $BBSDIR/admin/bbserr. It should be able to accept a filename as the output filename.
