I did not know of the logger command. The man page and a quick test. Looks like just what we need, thanks

It allows user use of the syslog service with control over severity and facility of the messages. Good luck!

At boot time we run a script from rc.local and I'd like to record it. I tried an echo command, that didn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
