This is a tricky one, because each chain of pipes creates more possibilities for buffering and stalling.
Since you're creating a file anyway, why not tail it, to feed it into logger instead of putting a pipe in the way?
I'm not sure that feeding raw, binary keystrokes into logger is a terrific idea, though. A lot of what script saves, only looks nice when dumped to a shell.
Also, instead of echo "" > /dev/null as a do-nothing stub, you can use the easier and simpler :
system() call imeplemented in solaris is such a way that:
Command not found - return code 1
Command executed successfully without Output - return code 1
how to distinguish between these two based on return code in a c - file?

logger
logger(1) User Commands logger(1)NAME
logger - add entries to the system log
SYNOPSIS
logger [-i] [-f file] [-p priority] [-t tag] [message] ...
DESCRIPTION
The logger command 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 this is unspecified, either the file indicated with -f
or the standard input is added to the log. Otherwise, a file 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:
-ffile Uses the contents of file as the message to log.
-i Logs the process ID of the logger process with each line.
-ppriority Enters 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.
-ttag Marks each line added to the log with the specified tag.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
message One of the string arguments whose contents are concatenated together, in the order specified, separated by single space charac-
ters.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Examples of the logger command
The following example:
example% logger System rebooted
logs the message `System rebooted' to the default priority level notice to be treated by syslogd as are other messages to the facility
user.
The next example:
example% logger -p local0.notice -t HOSTIDM -f /dev/idmc
reads from the file /dev/idmc and logs each line in that file as a message with the tag `HOSTIDM' at priority level notice to be treated by
syslogd as are other messages to the facility local0.
