The kernel and many system programs produce error, warning, and
other messages. It is often important that these messages can
be viewed later, even much later, so they should be written to
a file. The program doing this is <tt>syslog</tt><A NAME="349"> </A>. It can be
configured to sort the messages to different files according to
writer or degree of importance. For example, kernel messages
are often directed to a separate file from the others, since
kernel messages are often more important and need to be read
regularly to spot problems.
