Setup

This gist tests various aspects of syslog from Ruby. In order to do so you have to setup syslog first.

Setting up syslog is system-specific and quite variable because of variations like rsyslogd or syslogd-ng. OSX, for example, uses a custom system logger (the apple system logger) that supports the syslog API, but also adds additional stuff like the 'syslog' command line application.
