emlog(8) BSD System Manager's Manual emlog(8)NAME
emlog — Event Monitor Log Scraper
SYNOPSIS
emlog [-p udp_port] [-l]
DESCRIPTION
emlog is a perl script that scans log messages either fed through stdin
or via a local UDP port, looking for authentication failures and other
security notices, and feeding them as events to the Event Monitor (emond)
Options:
-p udp_port_number
Tells emlog to listen on the given local port number, processing
the UDP packets as single lines in a way compatible with syslogd
-l Tells emlog to process a single line of text then quit.
