Okay, this is probably a stupid question.

But suppose I'm writing a shell script, and I want to send a message to
syslog, so that it will show up in /var/log/messages.  Is there a syslog
"client" of some sort that can be run easily from a shell script?  (I
realize that there is a C library; I don't really want to get into
that.)

Thanks for any advice,
Jeremy
