I'm not familiar with the AS400 (been over 12 years), so please bare
with me. I assume the problem is there is no stock syslog and/or no way
to get syslog to compile? Is there a copy of logger? If so, you can use
that.

If not, its messy but:
tail -f /var/log/messages | nc -u 192.168.1.1 514 &

will work in a pinch. I've used this to Syslog off log entries that I've
been either too lazy to setup correctly, or only needed a short term
solution. This of course means you need a working copy of Netcat, but
the code is pretty small and portable.

HTH,
Chris
