DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     esplogger is a facility for the scripted tools/tasks to log the data to
     the SGI Embedded Support Partner.	esplogger serves as a communication
     pipe between different tasks and EventMon.

     esplogger cannot be called	without	an options(s). One or more of the
     following options must be specified:

     -s	sequence number
		  option that allows to	specify	sequence number	(in decimal or
		  hexadecimal notation). This option works only	in conjunction
		  with -t and -f, or -m	options.

     -f	filename  option that allows to	specify	a file name that contains data
		  for logging into SGI Embedded	Support	Partner	framework.
		  This option works only in conjunction	with -s	option and is
		  incompatible with -m option.

     -m	message	  option that allows to	type a message to login	into SGI
		  Embedded Support Partner
		   framework. This option works	only in	conjunction with -s
		  option and is	incompatible with -f option.

     -p	priority  option that allows to	specify	priority (i.e. local0.notice).
		  See syslog(3C) for a description of the priorities. If
		  priority is not specified esplogger will use default
		  priority "local0.info". This option must be used in
		  combination with -s, and -f, or -m options.

     -t	time	  option that allows to	specify	time of	the event. Time	must
		  be specified in seconds since	00:00:00 UTC, Jan 1, 1970 (in
		  decimal notation). If	time is	not specified esplogger	will
		  set this option to the time it received event. This option
		  must be used together	with -s, and -f, or -m options.

     -h		  help option. This option will	print out the usage for	the
		  command to the standard output.

     -V		  version option. This option will print out the esplogger
		  version number.

EXAMPLE	1
	  splogger -s 200356 -f	availmon.dat

     The above command sets sequence number to 200356, priority	to the
     "local0.info" (1030), and time to the time	when esplogger received	the
     event.  Then it reads file	availmon.dat and passes	the context of the
     file together with	the rest of the	parameters to EventMon.

EXAMPLE	2
	  splogger -s 0x00200000 -p syslog.warning -m "Start SVP"

     The above command sets sequence number to 0x00200000, priority to
     syslog.warning (324), and time to the time	when esplogger received	the
     event. Then it passes this	information along with the message to
     EventMon.
