    For creating your SYSLOG server you can use Kiwi Log Server because it easy to set up and configure, Kiwi Syslog Server receives, logs, displays, and forwards syslog messages from network devices and at the same time actions can be performed on received messages and messages can be filtered by host name, host IP address, priority, message text or time of day.For downloading syslog software click on Download.

    Try to write down the following file in /etc/syslog.conf and now you would be able to send message to user.

    /etc/syslog.conf
