syslog() /openlog() and wtf is LOG_LOCAL_0

hi everyone, is there anyone out there that can explain the following constants: LOG_LOCAL0 LOG_LOCAL1 ... LOG_LOCAL* in relation to openlog() and syslog() basically I want to do two things: 1. log to the apache error log from a script called via the webserver 2. log to the apache error log from a script called via the cmdline (usually cron) I have 1. working on a dev server - but the live server doesn't seem to want to log jackshit. 2. I can't get working for the life of me.... anybody been down this rabbit hole? care to show an example to this desperate fool? or something? rgds, Jochem (I have googled/ read the manpage,etc, etc - but I'm at a total loss) (please someone help, before I gouge my eyes out ... I can almost hear you lot not speaking up on purpose ;-)
