APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When the "logger" command is used to log a number of messages in rapid sequence, particularly when that is done in a single invocation, as with input from a file or from stdin, then it will often fail after sending just a few dozen of those messages to syslog. The format of the error message seen is: Could not send msg <actual-text-in-line-it-failed-to-send> . Please retry
Local fix
Invoke logger for no more than 8-20 messages at a time with a delay or explicit in between.
Problem summary
logger command fails after sending few messages to syslog. When logging a large batch of messages.
Problem conclusion
If syslog_r() fails with errno ENOBUFS or EAGAIN retry sending message to syslog after some delay.
Temporary fix
