This was devised by Mike Hunt on the Portage forum (see |
| 10 |
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-788086-highlight-.html). It tails the |
| 11 |
default emerge log into an awk stage which deletes the Unix time stamp, and |
| 12 |
then logs the records into the standard syslog with the priority set to |
| 13 |
facility "local5" and level "info"; these can be whatever works for you. |
