Class Syslog

public class Syslog extends Object

A class to private remote logging via the BSD syslog service (UDP on port 514).

To get a syslogd to listen to port 514 packets, one needs to start it with a specific option, e.g. "-r" on Linux or Solaris, or "-u" on MacOSX prior to Panther, or without the "-s" after Panther. On Linux one edits the options in "/etc/sysconfig/syslog" and does an "/etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog restart".
