[Feature Request] Redis logging to syslog

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ideally redis would have the ability to log to a syslog server rather than
a flat file. Running multiple instances of redis makes logging harder
without syslog.

+1 - but also wondering if there isn't already a way to do this, e.g. log to 
/dev/log= or pipe to logger - see e.g. 
http://www.softpanorama.org/Logs/Syslog/pipes_in_syslog.shtml

+1 - Isn't the configuration in syslog dealing with named pipes related to 
having syslog write data to a named 
pipe as opposed to reading data from a named pipe into syslog? Is there a way 
to use a named pipe to get data 
to syslog?

I've made a patch that does this. I've attached it, and it's also in my github 
tree:

Via github, I've submitted a patch/pull request that enables Redis to support 
syslog as well as multi-destination logging.

Thanks for working on this.  Our sysadmins are big fans of centralized 
syslogging.
