Thanks again john1212, I had actually tried that already but it still fails with a pipe error.

I need something that handles the output like logger does but allows me to redirect it to /dev/null.

logger

logger(1B)					     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands						logger(1B)

NAME

       logger - add entries to the system log

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/logger [-f filename] [-i] [-p priority] [-t tag] mm [message]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  logger  utility  provides a method for adding one-line entries to the system log file from the command line. One or more message argu-
       ments can be given on the command line, in which case each is logged immediately. If message is unspecified, either the file indicated with
       -f  or  the  standard  input is added to the log. Otherwise, a filename can be specified, in which case each line in the file is logged. If
       neither is specified, logger reads and logs messages on a line-by-line basis from the standard input.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -i	       Log the process ID of the logger process with each line.

       -f filename     Use the contents of filename as the message to log.

       -p priority     Enter the message with the specified priority. The message priority can be specified numerically, or  as  a  facility.level
		       pair. For example, `-p local3.info' assigns the message priority to the info level in the local3 facility. The default pri-
		       ority is user.notice.

       -t tag	       Mark each line added to the log with the specified tag.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Logging a message

       The command:

       example% logger System rebooted

       will log the message `System rebooted' to the facility at priority notice to be treated by syslogd as other messages to the facility notice
       are.

       Example 2: Logging messages from a file

       The command:

       example% logger -p local0.notice -t HOSTIDM -f /dev/idmc

       will  read from the file /dev/idmc and will log each line in that file as a message with the tag `HOSTIDM' at priority notice to be treated
       by syslogd as other messages to the facility local0 are.
