According to the syslog man page, I should be able to use a pipe
character to send a log to a program. Adding a line like:

user.notice                                           |exec wall
WORKDAMNYOU

to /etc/syslog.conf, restarting syslog, then running "logger whatever"
(which sends messages from the user facility with a priority of notice)
just doesn't seem to work. 

Logging to a file from this facility / priority does though.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Mike
