About:
Mlogger is a lightweight command-line utility designed to send log messages directly to the system's syslog service. It provides a simple interface for scripting and automation, allowing users to record events, errors, or status updates without complex configuration. This tool is ideal for integrating shell scripts with centralized system logging infrastructure.
Key Features:
  • Simple command-line interface for quick logging
  • Direct integration with system syslog
  • Supports standard syslog severity levels
  • Lightweight and easy to script with
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring cron job execution and errors
  • Logging application events from shell scripts
  • Sending alerts from automation tasks to system logs
Alternatives:
  • logger – Standard POSIX utility; mlogger may offer simpler syntax or specific features for certain workflows
  • syslog-ng – Full-featured syslog daemon; mlogger is a client tool, not a service
