That *is* the direct log writing tool: assign text to $LOG and procmail
appends it to the logfile, if one is defined and writable. If you want a
closing newline on the text so that the next string written to the log will
begin on its own line instead of appearing to the right of what you put there
with LOG=, make sure that there's an explicit newline in the text you assign
to $LOG. Many people like to do this near the top of their rcfiles:
NL="
"
and then use
LOG="Some text here$NL"
rather than
LOG="Some text here
"
to take care of that.
