Yes, I meant to use the pipe symbol. -bash-4.1# echo "hi" | logger -t test -bash-4.1# tail messages Mar 4 08:28:36 localhost kernel: imklog 5.8.10, log source = /proc/kmsg started. Mar 4 08:28:36 localhost rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="5.8.10" x-pid="14128" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] start Mar 4 08:28:52 localhost test: hi Mar 4 08:28:52 localhost test: hi As you can see all messages are duplicated. I tried this on a clean install of CentOS but was not able to reproduce this problem. Any pointers which might help me debug this issue.
