How to write to syslog with external app?
All -
I am familiar with the "logger" utility in Linux, which will write to
syslog with whatever free-form text you want. Is there a similar
utility or function in SCO? I have a utility that I want to run
periodically, and I'd like the output to be logged via syslog. I've
never liked writing to system log files directly in case syslog is in
the middle of a write or something like that.
Thanks!

You can roll your own in perl using the Sys::Syslog module.

Hrm - that would be great if I were a perl hacker. :-(
Any other suggestions?

It's quite easy:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Sys::Syslog;
while (<>)
{
openlog($0, 'ndelay', 'local1');
syslog('debug', "Writing STDIN: $_");
closelog();
}

Many thanks, that was it.
