NAME
     esplogger - System Support logger

SYNOPSIS
     esplogger [-s sequence number {-f filename | -m "message"} [-p priority]
              [-t time]
     esplogger -h
     esplogger -V

DESCRIPTION
     esplogger is a facility for the scripted tools/tasks to log the data to
     the SGI Embedded Support Partner.  esplogger serves as a communication
     pipe between different tasks and EventMon.

     esplogger cannot be called without an options(s). One or more of the
     following options must be specified:

     -s sequence number
                  option that allows to specify sequence number (in decimal or
                  hexadecimal notation). This option works only in conjunction
                  with -t and -f, or -m options.

     -f filename  option that allows to specify a file name that contains data
                  for logging into SGI Embedded Support Partner framework.
                  This option works only in conjunction with -s option and is
                  incompatible with -m option.

     -m message   option that allows to type a message to login into SGI
                  Embedded Support Partner
                   framework. This option works only in conjunction with -s
                  option and is incompatible with -f option.

     -p priority  option that allows to specify priority (i.e. local0.notice).
                  See syslog(3C) for a description of the priorities. If
                  priority is not specified esplogger will use default
                  priority "local0.info". This option must be used in
                  combination with -s, and -f, or -m options.

     -t time      option that allows to specify time of the event. Time must
                  be specified in seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, Jan 1, 1970 (in
                  decimal notation). If time is not specified esplogger will
                  set this option to the time it received event. This option
                  must be used together with -s, and -f, or -m options.

     -h           help option. This option will print out the usage for the
                  command to the standard output.

     -V           version option. This option will print out the esplogger
                  version number.
EXAMPLE 1
          splogger -s 200356 -f availmon.dat

     The above command sets sequence number to 200356, priority to the
     "local0.info" (1030), and time to the time when esplogger received the
     event.  Then it reads file availmon.dat and passes the context of the
     file together with the rest of the parameters to EventMon.

EXAMPLE 2
          splogger -s 0x00200000 -p syslog.warning -m "Start SVP"

     The above command sets sequence number to 0x00200000, priority to
     syslog.warning (324), and time to the time when esplogger received the
     event. Then it passes this information along with the message to
     EventMon.
