# A wrapper for programs that can't write to syslog.  Output and error
# are sent to syslog.
#
# Use LOGGER environment variable to pass options to `logger`.  They'll
# probably be system-dependent, so handle with care.
#
# Usage:
#
# LOGGER="-t program" syslogize program -o -p --tions argu ments
#
# daemonize /usr/local/bin/syslogize program
