[PATCH 3/3] zcip: add an option to force logging to syslog even if running -f

[Stam, Michel [FINT]]

Hey Isaac,

No, technically there's no reason why that would not work, although i
suddenly have 2 processes to do the work of one process.

I could rework my patch to send logging to both stderr and syslog, if
that works better? 

Kind regards,
Fugro Intersite B.V.

Sortof a watchdog, if you will.

Is there a reason that this sort of command line wouldn't work:

 zcip -f -r $RANGE 2>&1 |logger -t zcip

?
