SYNOPSIS
--------

DESCRIPTION
-----------
`ccollect` is a backup utility written in the sh-scripting language.
It does not depend on a specific shell, only `/bin/sh` needs to be
bourne shell compatibel (like 'dash', 'ksh', 'zsh', 'bash', ...).
For more information refer to the manual titled
"ccollect - Installing, Configuring and Using" (available as text (asciidoc),
texinfo or html).

LOGGING MECHANISM
-----------------
ccollect logging depends on running in non-interactive/interactive mode
and on specified optins. The mechanism behaves as the following:
non-interactive mode::
* standard output goes to syslog
* optional: specify logging into file
* log all output by default
* optional: log only errors
interactive mode::
* standard output goes to stdout
* log only errors
* optional: log into syslog or file
- log all output by default
