unix logs
Hi ,
I am writing few shell scripts to process a txt files , say 1.sh , 2.sh and 3.sh
I need to capture all logs in /var/log/messages using logger
Is it possible i can write some function/configuration to capture all logs in all the shellscripts without adding echo or logger in the shell scripts.
Or please advice good way of capturing logs of all scripts
I am using Linux .
Thanks

I never used log4sh before, but from the link provided it seems to be what you want.
You can download and install on your system and use it for some time to see if its really meeting your requirements.

You can filter logs by content of log lines in syslog-ng and rsyslog. shell is very inefficient, probably less interpreted languages like perl or python can come handy.

Hi Tintin,
Thank you. It will log all the errors too right ?
If yes, i can create a new shell script named log.sh and add the above code which you mentioned.
Later source the log.sh on all of the shell scripts right ? So it will capture all the logs.
I will keep this as an option , but since my company need a centralised log monitoring like log4perl in perl , could you please check if log4sh is vulnerable or i can use it for my project?
Thanks

vulnerable how?
I think it is incapable of processing debug logs from any network device. You must use at least system of capable accomodating that like splunk or greylog2.

Hi Gheist,
I am going to use the log4sh only for my few shell scripts. So i want to make sure that the log4sh is not an vulnerable and i can use it for one of my customer .

How would it chew 2GB/min from 96-port cisco switch?

Sorry , i dont understand your question.
Anyway i will try install log4sh and let you know any issues.

I suspect that shell-based log analyser will not sustain any reasonably massive flow of logs.
