output to syslog

Can Rebol output a syslog message?
I have a script that will log into our ticketing system to look for
specific items. If there are some, I'd like the script to generate a
syslog message.
The message will be sent into our monitoring system and e-mail.
I have the rest working and just need to add the syslog message.

Hi John,

I haven't tried it, but from the spec it just means writing 1024 bytes
or less over UDP on port 514 so, yes, REBOL should be able to do that.
If nobody else has an existing scheme for it, I would start by just
doing it simply and directly with ports.

Or, having library access:
libc: if-error [load/library %libc.so] [if-error [load/library %libc.so.6] [
print "FATAL: Unable to load libc.so!"
quit
]]
openlog:
make routine! [
ident [string!]
option [integer!]
facility [integer!]
] libc "openlog"
syslog:
make routine! [
priority [integer!]
format [string!]
str [string!]
] libc "syslog"
; done this way to avoid the GC destroying the string
ident-string: "your ident string"
LOG_DAEMON: 16
openlog ident-string 0 LOG_DAEMON ; use your own options and
facility - see man page
; now you can call syslog
HTH,

I just have the core, not the command version.
Thanks
