Logger command not working for one script

Hi,

On RHEL 7.2, I created below script in cronjob for every minute. If this process is found to be not running, it should record message in /var/adm/xymessages, start it and send email.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

source /export/home/prodadm/.bash_profile

if [ `ps -ef |grep ercapi | grep -v grep | wc -l` -eq 0 ];
then
        /export/home/prodadm/erc/scripts/start-erc;
        /bin/logger -p 'XY 6990 - ERC API on `hostname` is restarted' /var/adm/xymessages;
        /bin/mail -s "ERC API on v911t-vpctools restarted" test-admin@xyz123.com;
fi

But logger part is not working, seems like I am missing something. It should pick hostname also. Probably I am missing an entry in rsyslog.conf ?

Quote:
[root@test-servs ~]# logger -p 'XY 6990 - ERC API on `hostname` is restarted' /var/adm/xymessages
logger: unknown priority name: XY 6990 - ERC API on `hostname` is restarted.

Please advice.

Thanks

Configuration is read from /etc/mysqmail.conf. mysqmail-courier-logger uses a table corresponding to this one: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS pop_access ( id varchar(32) NOT NULL default '', uid int(11) NOT NULL default '65534', gid int(11) NOT NULL default '65534', home varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', shell varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', mbox_host varchar(120) NOT NULL default '', crypt varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', passwd varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', active int(11) NOT NULL default '1', start_date date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00', expire_date date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00', quota_size int(11) NOT NULL default '0', type varchar(20) NOT NULL default 'default', memo text,du bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', another_perso varchar(5) NOT NULL default 'no', redirect1 varchar(255) default NULL, redirect2 varchar(255) default NULL, localdeliver varchar(10) NOT NULL default 'yes', pop3_login_count int(9) NOT NULL default '0', pop3_transfered_bytes int(14) NOT NULL default '0', imap_login_count int(9) NOT NULL default '0', imap_transfered_bytes int(14) NOT NULL default '0', last_login int(14) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (id,mbox_host) ) TYPE=MyISAM To have mysqmail-courier-logger working, you should have issued mkfifo /var/log/courier.fifo to create the fifo and use nohup cat /var/log/courier.fifo | /usr/bin/mysqmail-courier-logger > /dev/null 2>&1 & to launch it.
