sysklogd

System administration command. sysklogd, the Linux program that provides syslogd functionality, behaves exactly like the BSD version of syslogd. The difference should be completely transparent to the user. However, sysklogd is coded very differently and supports a slightly extended syntax. It is invoked as syslogd. See also klogd.
