By default, <b>postlog</b> logs the <i>text</i> given on the command line as one record. If no <i>text</i> is specified on the command line, <b>postlog</b> reads from standard input and logs each input line as one record. Logging is sent to <b>syslogd</b>(8); when the standard error stream is connected to a terminal, logging is sent there as well. The following options are implemented: <b>-c</b> <i>config_dir</i> Read the <b>main.cf</b> configuration file in the named directory instead of the default configuration directory. <b>-i</b> Include the process ID in the logging tag. <b>-p</b> <i>priority</i> Specifies the logging severity: <b>info</b> (default), <b>warn</b>, <b>error</b>, <b>fatal</b>, or <b>panic</b>. <b>-t</b> <i>tag</i> Specifies the logging tag, that is, the identifying name that appears at the beginning of each logging record. <b>-v</b> Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Mul- tiple <b>-v</b> options make the software increasingly verbose. <b>SEE</b> <b>ALSO</b> syslogd(8) syslog daemon. <b>LICENSE</b> The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software. <b>AUTHOR(S)</b> Wietse Venema IBM T.J.
