[SunHELP] two syslog actions?

[Jarrett Carver]

It is possible to specify two actions for a single event:

kern.debug                     /var/adm/messages
kern.debug                     root,operator

This appends the /var/adm/message and attempts to write root and operator's 
terminal if they are logged in.

I don't beleive syslogd can email a user, but I could be wrong. The system I 
am more accutomed to would be to have all messages logged localy and sent to 
a loghost. Then have swatch ( a perl script that is freely available ) 
monitor the log file and take actions depending criteria set-up, such as 
emailing me when a critical message comes in.

Is it possible to specify 2 syslog actions, such as appending to a file and 
sending email?

If possible, what is the syntax?

Thanks,
