[Dev] syslog "client" from a shell script?

[John F Davis]

Jeremy,

Yeah its kinda hit or miss.  It aint going to help you if it the man page
is not installed.  ie. if logger is not installed apropos is not going to
help unless syslog has a see also reference to it.  Which you already
pointed out does not exist.

Happy Trails,

JD

Heh, I forgot about apropos (man -k) because it is so often useless; I
should have tried that!
