I used a script with openSUSE 11.4 which called logger like this: # logger -t "$l[$PPID] $i" "`sed -n ${c}p < $t`" The tag was something like "me[123] foo: blah", and the number remained stable for a single run. Now with systemd and util-linux-2.26.2 the number does always change. If I understand the man page correctly this is supposed to achieve the same, but the $PPID never made it into journalctl -f outout: logger -t "me" --id=$PPID "foo: blah" Instead the pid of the logger processs is used. How can I restore the old behaviour?
