Will 'logger -f' help you? Did you check out the examples in the man page?

Hi,
Would following execution help?
logger -b `cat input_file`

the whole input file would go as message.

Unfortunately I have tested all the above methods, but it seemed to be failed! Only the second methoh can log the textfile context into binary.errlog, but then after I use the command of `wsea n ana out err1.log`, the context of err1.log file is empty!!
Now how can I resolve the problem that I want to either recover or restructure this binary.errlog ( because I have missed to lose/rm the original binary.errlog, and I still have the acsii logfile that was output from that original binary.errlog via wsea utility before days)
