"$rsynccommandline >$logfile 2>&1" is one way - use however many "v"s you
need.
If you want to accumulate the output of several invocations,
"$rsynccommandline >>$logfile 2>&1"
If you really want it in syslog
"$rsynccommandline 2>&1 |logger $facility.$severity", and make sure you
have syslog configured to put that where you want it.

Logging from cron
Hello,
I've just spent several hours going over several Google searches trying to
find a way to configure rsync to log into a file named
"/var/log/rsync.log". So far, every instance where I've found someone
asking about rsync logging remained unanswered (which is kind of weird in
itself).
As far as I can tell, the only way to do this is to setup rsync as a
daemon process so that it will read an rsync.confg. The problem is that I
don't want to run rsync as a daemon process, and am not interested in
working from a rsync.confg file if I can avoid it. My rsync command lines
are being generated on the fly by a perl program running via cron, and
then shelling the command to the OS (linux) and handshaking via SSH. This
is working fine, but I need a log to determine what is causing rsync to
shutdown before completing the full mirror of the server.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get a log generated from
rsync running from the command line?
Many Thanks in Advance,
Tim
