Piping the "script" command through the logger command.
I use the snippet below in /etc/profile on RHEL Linux to capture command line logging and it all works well and good.
Now I'd like to pipe the same output from script through the logger command so it all gets logged to syslog.
The only additional code I've added is in bold below (| bin/logger).
This works as expected sans one issue, albeit a major one. My terminal session is blank as if nothing is being typed, however if I type commands I can see them being logged and if I type exit my session closes. I tried a nohup and & to see if that would help but it does not. I'm wondering why I can no longer see anything on my tty.
This is what my putty session looks like. So I have a fully functional session but I can't see any output. [user@test1 ~]$ ssh cxxx
user@test1's password:

logger
LOGGER(1) BSD General Commands Manual LOGGER(1)NAME
logger -- make entries in the system log
SYNOPSIS
logger [-46Ais] [-f file] [-h host] [-P port] [-p pri] [-t tag] [message ...]
DESCRIPTION
The logger utility provides a shell command interface to the syslog(3) system log module.
The following options are available:
-4 Force logger to use IPv4 addresses only.
-6 Force logger to use IPv6 addresses only.
-A By default, logger tries to send the message to only one address, even if the host has more than one A or AAAA record. If this
option is specified, logger tries to send the message to all addresses.
-i Log the process id of the logger process with each line.
-s Log the message to standard error, as well as the system log.
-f file
Read the contents of the specified file into syslog.
-h host
Send the message to the remote system host instead of logging it locally.
-P port
Send the message to the specified port number on a remote system, which can be specified as a service name or as a decimal number.
The default is ``syslog''. If an unknown service name is used, logger prints a warning and falls back to port 514.
-p pri Enter the message with the specified priority. The priority may be specified numerically or as a ``facility.level'' pair. For exam-
ple, ``-p local3.info'' logs the message(s) as informational level in the local3 facility. The default is ``user.notice.''
-t tag Mark every line in the log with the specified tag rather than the default of current login name.
message
Write the message to log; if not specified, and the -f flag is not provided, standard input is logged.
EXIT STATUS
The logger utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
logger System rebooted
logger -p local0.notice -t HOSTIDM -f /dev/idmc
SEE ALSO syslog(3), syslogd(8)STANDARDS
The logger command is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.
