B Appendix B. Linux system message logging This appendix describes a mechanism for logging Linux system messages in IBM i5/OS using syslog on Linux and a syslogd server program on IBM i5/OS. All Linux system messages are logged to a file and those that are selected go as messages to QSYSOPR. This allows you to effectively monitor multiple Linux systems from an IBM i5/OS partition. Every Linux system can send messages whether it is installed on a standalone PC, a logical partition (LPAR), or on an IXS/IXA.
