What do you identify as the cause of the problem?

You are mentoring a colleague who recently added a local7.notice entry to the /etc/syslog.conf file. After
restarting the logging service, your colleague notices that no new records are being logged and asks for your
help. Included in the file are these entries:


(19)*.alert root
(20)*.emerg*
(21)local7.notice /var/log/Appx.log

While running the syslogd process in debug mode, you notice the following:
You examine the /var/adm/messages file:Jan 6 00:23:10 so111-server syslogd: line 21: unknown priority name “notice ”
