#Purpose: to make sure syslog is working properly

echo “starting to test syslog”

for server in `cat /opt/scripts/machine list` # file with only one machine per a line resoveable via DNS

ssh root@$server logger -p local3.alert “Hello World”
echo “done testing syslog”
done

vxedit -g sydata set user= group= mode= NameRawPart
