Re: [syslog-ng]Sending a log line via e-mail

Csehi Andras <acsehi@qsoft.hu> - Wed, Oct 27, 2004:

destination d_ups { program("mail -s UPSlog acsehi@qsoft.hu"); };

program() destination launches a program when syslog-ng starts and sends the log lines on its stdin. the program is not launched for each line. you can write a shell script or an awk / perl program to read stdin and call mail for each line, this would translate in shell to: while read line; do echo "$line" | mail -s UPSlog acsehi@qsoft.hu; done -- Loïc Minier <lool@dooz.org>
