Bug#272197: di-utils: Should be able to run program and send output to syslog



Package: di-utils
Version: 1.06

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.
