Da.  I forgot that part - I called it "pager" ...

syslog-ng runs the program once, then feeds each line to its stdin. Upon
reloading syslog-ng the program gets a SIGTERM signal.
That's useful to know.  The shell script uses a:

while read LINE ; do
   ...
done

...loop to read input

Apart from that the program destination should work well. I've just tried
and it did work.
Does it work with shell scripts?  With pdksh?
