[syslog-ng] problem with logger -t and $TAG

[Nilshar]

Works perfectly, thank you.

2008/8/14 JUNG, Christian <christian.jung at saarstahl.com>:
> The TAG macro is the facility/priority information in a syslog message (logger option -p) not the tag you define with logger (-t). Try the PROGRAM (should be the string you've defined with -t) and MSGONLY (rest of the message) macros.
