=== To use syslog-notify you must redirect syslog output to the pipe '/var/spool/syslog-notify'

Example for syslog-ng (add to /etc/syslog-ng.conf):
  destination d_syslog_notify { pipe("/var/spool/syslog-notify"); };
  log { source(src); destination(d_syslog_notify); };

Consult the manual of the syslog daemon used on your system for accordant information
