[syslog-ng]logger-ng

[Ben Russo]

Many of us are familiar with "logger" that sends syslog messages...
I use it all the time when writing scripts.
What about a "logger-ng" that has more features?
Such as being able to send syslog messages via TCP/UDP to specified port 
numbers instead of just to the localhost.

For example:

logger-ng -d 10.10.10.10:5514 [-t|-u] -p local3.warn This is a message I 
want to send to the syslog daemon listening on port 5514 at the IP 
address 10.10.10.10

In addition to specifying UDP/TCP and a destination IP address, some 
other features I can think of are:

	tailing a log file
	listening on a named pipe
	taking standard input to send logs
