In principle this is absolutely true, in practice for a write2log() call, less so. Unless that call was part of a framework I wanted to use in my application anyway, I would not bother. It would take me less time to write my own than to learn how to use a foreign one.
Probably, but that depends on how complex those other ones are, and whether you can use it with a few simple command calls.
For instance "logger" is clearly not a complex tool. If it had a little more functionality, the same interface would be very easy to use in a script (or program).
What else do you want it to do? I use it often in scripts, that's what it is for.
Ditto & ditto. logger has been around for more than 20 years, I guess it might be getting old :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
