/usr/bin/logger -f option gives multiple entries per line in the file

[630111]

My input file is this...

QUANTUMSDLT320 /dev/rmt/7cbn PMC25Y0169
QUANTUMSDLT320 /dev/rmt/8cbn RBD15Y1693
QUANTUMSDLT320 /dev/rmt/9cbn PMC36Y0665
QUANTUMSDLT320 /dev/rmt/10cbn RBD38Y0893
QUANTUMSDLT320 /dev/rmt/11cbn RBE17Y0665
QUANTUMSDLT320 /dev/rmt/12cbn RBD30Y1052

I try to use logger as follows

logger -p local0.info -t SERNO -f inputfile

And I get this in my /var/adm/messages

I get multiple log entries per line. Any idea of how to remedy this?

Thanks!

Hi,
I can give one idea.
please check /etc/syslog.conf file.
probably info or local0.info messages routed twice to /var/adm/messages file.
if this is true, reconfigure your syslog.conf file and send kill -HUP to pid of syslog process.
