It sounds like you want to know how to send a single custom message to log messages, not set up persistent custom logging; if that is the case, one option is to drop to the shell and just append your message: cgrundem...@ar51.den1> start shell % echo "TEST MESSAGE" >> /var/log/messages % exit exit cgrundem...@ar51.den1> show log messages | find "Apr 17 05:32:48" Apr 17 05:32:48 ar51.den1 sshd[89448]: %AUTH-6: Accepted password for cgrundemann from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 34055 ssh2 TEST MESSAGE cgrundem...@ar51.den1> As you can see, this message would be added exactly as you input it, no time stamp is added. You could add a time stamp yourself or just let the messages before and after qualify when it was added. Another thing to note, this message will only be stored in the local /var/log/messages file (aka the messages log) it will not be sent to any syslog server. This could be good or bad, depending on your situation - it sounds like you were looking for a local message though. If you are running newer code and want something more automatic; this may help: http://forums.juniper.net/jnet/board/message?board.id=JUNOS&message.id=1187. If you just want your manual message to get a time stamp and be sent to your syslog server; op scripts can be called from the cli, so once it is written you can trigger it manually: cgrundem...@ar51.den1> op ? Possible completions: <script> Name of script to run cgrundem...@ar51.den1> op Hope that helps, ~Chris > > > thanks. > > yi > _______________________________________________ > juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net > https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp -- Chris Grundemann weblog.chrisgrundemann.com _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
