lr_desyslog(1)

lr_desyslog1

Strip syslog style header from logfile line

Usage

lr_desyslog program

Overview

lr_desyslog removes a syslog style timestamp, hostname, and program, and prints the remaining stuff given on stdin to stdout. E.g, when invoked as lr_desyslog qmail, it throws away things like 'Oct 29 10:07:44 gelfand qmail:', and keeps '972810464.240168 end msg 6161'. This is useful when processing qmail logs, which are processed by splogger.

Todo

Handle pid's in program syslog tag.
