Request #2 At the request of a bash user on AIX I made the following change to make the syslog output "standardized" to AIX format for many applications so that the output looks like this: Aug 9 17:30:12 x064 user:info syslog: bash[454682]: UID=0: ls -ltr Other examples from AIX syslog Aug 09 18:00:07 x053 daemon:info x053 qlogd[10148]: conn log: Users: michael, Source IP: 192.168.129.5, Computer name: study, Connection type: SAMBA, Accessed resources: michael/Pictures/desktop.ini, Action: Read Aug 9 17:00:12 x071 user:info syslog: /etc/ifconfig -a Aug 9 17:00:22 x071 auth|security:crit su: BAD SU from michael to root at /dev/pts/0 Aug 9 17:00:28 x071 auth|security:notice su: from michael to root at /dev/pts/0 Aug 09 18:16:19 x053 auth|security:info x053 qlogd[10148]: conn log: Users: guest, Source IP: 192.168.129.5, Computer name: study, Connection type: SAMBA, Accessed resources: ---, Action: Login OK Aug 9 17:18:14 x071 mail:info pop3d[9044156]: Moved 14080 bytes of new mail to /home/michael/mbox from /var/spool/mail/michael host= x005.home.local [192.168.129.5] Aug 9 17:18:14 x071 mail:info pop3d[9044156]: Auth user=michael host=x005.home.local [192.168.129.5] nmsgs=11/11 Aug 9 17:18:17 x071 mail:info pop3d[9044156]: Logout user=michael host=x005.home.local [192.168.129.5] nmsgs=0 ndele=11 Note that WHEN a pid is included it is prefixed by the commandname and enclosed between [].
