I am writing some automation on my esxi 5.0 hosts that involve shell scripts. I want to log the script output to the configured syslog for the esxi host. My thought was to just " >> /var/log/vmkernel" in the script, but for some reason it isnt picking it up in the syslog feed. Anyone have a better suggestion on how to log to one of the built in log files that are already configured to send to syslog?
