logger: Log a message to syslog.
$ logger ${message}
try on your machine
The command "logger ${message}" is used to send log messages to the system's logging facility. Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "logger" is the command itself, which is used to log messages.
- "${message}" is a variable placeholder that holds the log message to be logged. The actual content of the message will be substituted in place of "${message}" when the command is executed.
For example, if you run the command "logger Hello, World!", it will log a message saying "Hello, World!" to the system's logging facility. The log message can be viewed using tools like "tail" or by checking the log files depending on the system configuration.
