None of the scribe examples I've seen actually mention the best way to take logs/logfiles and send them to scribe. I could configure a logrotate script that has a postrotate section that "cats" the rotated file to scribe (but then I get minutes latency at best).
The other option is to keep a "tail -f= | my_scribe_sender" and hope that the process never gets killed. However then you really can't guarantee that you're not missing/duplicating data.

Answer given by Epcylon can be only used for 'cating' files, if you want per message logging this link can be useful: scribe and php, I don't know what language you use, so google them. There is a thrift interface that can be used with many languages.
