Bug Description
Ubuntu 14.04LTS
logger from util-linux 2.20.1
Some switches are silently ignored:
-s, --stderr
log.
Doesn't work as documented - there is no output on stderr when using this switch
-n, --server server
Write to the specified remote syslog server using UDP instead of
to the builtin syslog routines.
Doesn't work as documented - there is no network traffic to the specified host, the message is logged to the local syslog
Can't tell if "-d" and "-P" work correctly as I can't get logger to send over the network.

The '-n' problem is known about but nobody seems to be fixing it.
