Sys::SyslogMessages - Figure out where syslog is and copy or tail it.(on Linux)
use Sys::SyslogMessages;
$linux = new Sys::SyslogMessages({'output_file' => 'syslog.tail'});
$linux->tail({'number_lines' => '500'});
$linux->copy({'output_file' => 'syslog.log'});
This is a simple module that finds the system logfile on Linux is and can copy it or tail it to a file. It works for syslogd or syslog-ng.
Be able to save various categories of logs, i.e. kern.* mail.*. Add copy dmsg support. Tail syslog from a particular time or since last reboot. Check for any other sys-logger options besides syslogd or syslog-ng.
