When invoking the `logger` command on Ubuntu Jammy (bsdutils 2.37.2) with explicit PID and passing messages via STDIN
``` echo "some message" | logger -p local0.info --id="$$" ```
the command produces the following error:
> logger: send message failed: Invalid argument
The error does not appear when the message is passed as an argument:
``` logger -p local0.info --id="$$" "some message" # this works! ```
When using process substitution the error only appears for the first log message:
``` exec > >(logger -p local0.info --id="$$") echo "first message" # throws error, message not logged echo "second message" # no error, message logged correctly ```
The issue does not exist in older versions (e.g. Ubuntu Xenial, bsdutils 2.27.1).
Workaround: Omit `--id` and include the PID in a tag.
``` echo "some message" | logger -p local0.info -t "foo[$$]" ```
Expected Behavior -----------------
All messages passed via STDIN should be sent to syslog without throwing an error.
