Figured out that there is no "news" on any of my cluster machines, so I usurped that facility for these messages. (It is sort of "news", right?). On the clients added to /etc/syslog.conf
news.* @safserver.cluster news.* -/var/log/messages On the server added "-r" to the syslogd boot, and changed /etc/syslog.conf from: *.info;mail,news,authpriv.none -/var/log/messages to *.info;mail,news.*,authpriv.none -/var/log/messages Now the clients can send messages to the server with logger -p news.warn "Shutting down on hardware error" and it shows up that nodes messages as: Nov 25 10:50:00 monkey01 root: Shutting down on hardware error and in the cluster messages file as: Nov 25 10:50:00 monkey01.cluster root: Shutting down on hardware error Sending .emerg messages puts a message on all server terminal windows though, which is a little annoying. I just won't send those I guess. Anyway, this should do the trick.
