I don't get duplicates on a CentOS 6 x86_64 VM of mine. Either one example (below) will suffice ... obviously eliminating the pipe is probably best. logger "blah" -t test echo "hi" | logger -t test And it doesn't matter which user I'm logged in as (privileged or non-privileged, it logs things just the same). Unless of course you wanted to log the contents of a file, then pipe it! ~]# cat /tmp/blah test one test two test three test four ~]# cat /tmp/blah | logger -t test ~]# tail -f /var/log/messages > Tested on CentOS 5.10 32bits/64bits and 6.5 64bits and I only get one > appearance... > Did you modify /etc/syslog.conf ? > Maybe there are two entries repeating the same facility? > The OP is using CentOS 6 which has replaced sysklogd with rsyslog. > > JD > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 // _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
