+ This logger service logs everything the syslogd service receives
+into subdirectories of /var/log/syslogd/ logdir.
+
+ The script provided in env/LOGSCRIPT emulates the default
+syslogd behaviour on a majority of Linux distributions.
+
+ Note that spaces cannot be used as is in the LOGSCRIPT file,
+because they are delimiters for the splitting of $LOGSCRIPT
+in the run script. So \s is used instead.
