Simple Java Program for publishing Syslog Events

In the Using Syslog as source in Flume i blogged about how to configure flume to listen for Syslog event on particular UDP port. I wanted to test that configuration so i built this simple java program that can publish Syslog event on given host and port no. You can download the source code for this project from GitHub This program takes 3 arguments first is hostname for the syslog server, second is the port on which the server is listening and third is the actual message that you want to send.
