ALIASES =

Hash containing various method aliases. Rbx and Jruby don’t seem to like the combination of alias() and module_function() so this works around that.

Constructor Details

#initialize(*args) ⇒ Syslog

Open the syslog library, if it is already open, we reopen it using the new argument list. The argument list is passed on to the Syslog library so please check that, and man syslog for detailed information.

There are 3 parameters:

  • ident: The identification used in the log file, defaults to $0

  • options: defaults to Syslog::LOG_PID | Syslog::LOG_CONS

  • facility: defaults to Syslog::LOG_USER

  ::Syslog.inspect

#log(tag, *messages) ⇒ Object

Just sends all messages received to ::Syslog We simply return if the log was closed for some reason, this behavior was copied from Informer. We do not handle levels here. This will be done by the syslog daemon based on it’s configuration.
