Redirecting standard output to syslog

Question

I\'m planning to package OpenTibia Server for Debian. One of the things I want to do is add startup via /etc/init.d and daemonization of the otserv

Answer 1

Try wrapping the execution of the binary with a suitable script, that just reads stdout and stderr, and send any data read from them on using syslog(). That should work without any code changes in the wrapped application, and be pretty easy.

Not sure if there are existing scripts to pipe into, but writing one shouldn't be hard if not.
