The submitters have misunderstood the option "-f" of logger. I recommend the closing of this bug. Explanation follows:
The option "-f" tells logger to fetch the message from a file instead of standard input or trailing line text: $ echo -e "First line\nSecond line." | logger -p user.info -t testing or equivalently $ echo -e "First line\nSecond line." > /tmp/test.log $ logger -p user.info -t testing -f /tmp/test.log Best regards, Mats Erik Andersson, DM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
