In ddetect, I would like to run programs and send their output to
syslog. At the moment the output is sent to /var/log/messages, but it
should be timestamped and sent to /var/log/syslog instead.
Waldi wrote a program 'exec' once to do this, but this program was
removed because 'exec' is a reserved word in the shell, and the
program was thus impossible to use. This program should be restored
and renamed.
I tried to find it in the subversion repository, but was unable to
find it. It was removed in the CVS repository, so I'm not sure if it
might have been dropped when CVS vas converted to subversion.

This bug was fixed by the addition of log-output (although there are
still a few issues with it which I'm in the process of fixing).

* Sending output to the syslog from shell has long been a bit nasty in
d-i. We can pipe things to logger, but that loses the program's exit
code. Add log-output to fix this; you give it a tag, a program name, and
the program's arguments, it runs that program sending the output to
syslog with the specified tag, and then exits with the same exit code as
the subsidiary program.
