SPUG: /var/log/messages - solved

[Mikel Tidwell]

Thanks for everyone who helped out.

I had to use Unix::Syslog, since we're using redhat 7.2.
I had to add a line to to /etc/syslog.conf.
I had to learn more about syslog then I ever wanted... but it works now ;>

mysqlcheck.pl: (so far ;)
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Unix::Syslog qw(:subs);

openlog('mysqlcheck.pl',0,1);		# #define LOG_USER        (1<<3)
syslog(5, 'Test--ignore me');		# #define LOG_NOTICE      5
closelog();

/etc/syslog.conf:
*.=notice;*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none      /var/log/messages
