Umm, do you have to do it from a shell script? I'm assuming you want to do this under NT or 2000, right? You could simply use syslog(), you know. Something like #include <syslog.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (argc != 2) return 1; syslog(LOG_MAKEPRI(LOG_SYSLOG,LOG_ALERT), "%s", argv[1]); } DISCLAIMER: I haven't tested or compiled the above, but it should work pretty much as advertised.
