This is exactly what ccs-notifyd is for.

I think you can use /bin/logger command. To send this information to a central
PC, change the action_to_take line of /etc/ccs/tools/notifyd.conf from

  action_to_take mail -s Notification\040from\040ccs-notifyd root at localhost

to

  action_to_take /bin/logger -p kern.warning -t tomoyo

and change your syslog daemon's config file to forward the message to the
central PC and run ccs-notifyd .

ccs-queryd is an interactive tool, but ccs-notifyd is a non-interactive tool.

In TOMOYO, policy violation logs are in the form of policy configuration.
ccs-auditd and ccs-notifyd are tools to collect policy violation logs.
Programs listed in /etc/ccs/manager.conf are tools to update policy.

I think you can use ccs-notifyd in a production environment.
