You can't do it for the catalog error log, but for the system error.log
Interchange has syslog() capability.
Syslog command logger
You can use syslog(8) to direct messages to specific machines, and
you can send them to a fifo as Stefan suggested. But if you change
the command, you could mail it yourself. This is NOT recommended,
but here goes.
You set up this script and call it /usr/local/bin/mailerror:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Getopt::Std;
my $flags = join " ", @ARGV;
use vars qw/$opt_p $opt_t $opt_u/;
getopts('p:t:u:');
my $subject = "Interchange error: $flags";
my $to = $opt_t || 'root';
my $from = 'interch at localhost';
undef $/;
my $body = <>;
my $msg = <<EOF;
Subject: $subject
To: $to
From: Interchange error mailer <$from>
$body
EOF
open MAIL, "| /usr/sbin/sendmail -t" or die "Cannot fork: $!\n";
print MAIL $msg;
close MAIL;
__END__
And put this in interchange.cfg:
Syslog command /usr/local/bin/mailerror
Syslog tag xavier at somwhere.com
It should work.
