Can someone recommend a good unix syslog *client* library for java? [closed]
Log4j can do it
Look at http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/net/SyslogAppender.html
and
http://wiki.apache.org/logging-log4j/syslog
Your code will look like
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger( MyClass.class );...logger.warn( "This is a warning!" );
and the correct log4j.properties file will redirect to syslog
