The syslog interface only allows a fixed set of facilities, defined by constants in /usr/include/sys/syslog.h. The only provision for custom facilities are local0 through local7. 1. edit /etc/syslog.conf and add an entry like: local0.* -/var/log/suspend.log 2. use it like: logger -p local0.info "foo bar foo"
