rsync + syslog

I would like to remotely log rsync activity.

ISTR that at one time I had a version of rsync that logged to syslog, but
the version that comes with Debian Etch makes no mention of syslog...

rsync version 2.6.8 protocol version 29 Copyright (C) 1996-2006 by
Andrew Tridgell, Wayne Davison, and others.

Anyone have any idea how I go about setting up rsync to log via syslog?

Thanks,

rsync -avzr -e ssh localhost /path . 2>&1 | logger -p info

Dunno about your box, though this works on mine.

Good luck

Slight correction, should be:

rsync -avzr -e ssh localhost:/path . 2>&1 | logger -p info
