Hi

You can use logger on HP-UX using priority and Tag option
For exemple logger -p local4.info -t WHATIHAVETOCATCH "My message "
and you create a match filter like
filter f_what {match (WHATIHAVETOCATCH);};
filter f_infolocal { level(info) and facility(local4);};

destination d_what { file(/place/fileyouwant.log);};

log { source(s_sys) ; filter(f_what); filter(infolocal) ;
destination(d_what);};

Now you catch your regexp and you log messages into the file that you want.
