Homepage: http://smarden.org/socklog
Description-en: system and kernel logging services (programs)
socklog cooperates with the runit package to create a small and secure
replacement for syslogd. socklog supports system logging through Unix
domain sockets (/dev/log), UDP sockets (0.0.0.0:514), as well as TCP
socket, with the help of runit's runsvdir, runsv, and svlogd. socklog
provides a different network logging concept, and also does log event
notification. svlogd has built in log file rotation based on file size,
so there is no need for any cron jobs to rotate the logs. socklog is
small, secure, and reliable.
.
This package contains the socklog programs.
