Hey, thank you very much!

So It would be:

Code:
if ! cmp "$FILE" "$TARGET/$TIMESTAMP/$DATE" > /dev/null 2>&1


logger -t sd-autocopy "copying of $FILE  failed"
    fi

Do I have to include the part \n' "$FILE" in the logger part?

Could you please check is this is right?


And how would you do the part with the log file?

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.
