One final note: By default, syslog4j uses the hostname as the local process 
name it reports, which isn't ideal.  You can easily change the name it logs 
to syslog with the setLocalName function.  For example, my process is 
called zmconfigd.  To make its messages look like other syslog messages, I 
did:

zmsyslog.getConfig().setLocalName("zmconfigd[%d]:" % os.getpid())
