Table 33 defines the command line arguments.

Table 33. Argument Descriptions for logEvent/logMsg

script

Name of the shell script for which the message is being logged. Normally, this is

 

either basename$0 or in ksh ${##*/}

 

 

msg

The symbolic name of the message, for example, LG_OUT_OF_RANGE

 

 

dst

This is only used with the logEvent command. It is the bit mask specification of

 

where the message will be sent. It can be a number or symbolic destinations, as

 

specified in msgDst.rules. If more than one symbolic destination is specified, they

 

should be concatenated with a plus sign (+), for example, stderr+log

 

 

pri

The priority of the message. This is only used with the logEvent command. It may

 

be any of the following:

 

0, - or NONE, 1, M or MANUAL, 2, * or MINOR, 3, ** or MAJOR, 4, *C or

 

CRITICAL

 

 

srcFile

The name of the file from which the logEvent or logMsg command is being

 

issued. If you do not care, you can use -.” Supplying the correct value is useful for

 

debugging purposes, particularly if a script might generate the same message

 

from more than one place. If there are many individual functions within your script,

 

you might find it advantageous to use the name of the function instead of the file.
