Syslog and Auditing Utilities - Solaris 9 System Administrator - page 306

The correct answer is D. An asterisk can be used to represent all source facil-
ities except mark ; therefore, answer A is incorrect. No symbol or keyword is
available to represent all severity levels or all messages; therefore, answers B
and C are incorrect.

Question 7

What is the -f command-line argument of the logger command used to
specify?
❍ A. An alternative log file.

❍ B. A file that contains the log message.

❍ C. A file that contains the tag associated with the message.

❍ D. A file that contains the facility associated with the message.

The correct answer is B. Answer A is incorrect, because the
/etc/syslog.conf file determines the log file based on the facility level of the
message. Answer C is incorrect because the -t command-line argument is
used to specify the tag. Answer D is incorrect because the -p command-line
argument is used to specify the facility.

The correct answers are A, B, and C. Answer D is a source facility, not a
severity level, and therefore is incorrect.
