Is it possible to write on syslog without logger/C/Perl ?

Hi, is it possible to write on syslog without logger/C/Perl ?

I tried to do this on Solaris 5.9:
i've configured syslog.conf this way and rebooted syslogd:
local0.notice                   /var/adm/test.log

then i've executed the following line without errors but it does not write on file test.log
echo "<133>My message">/dev/log

If i use "logger" it works:
logger local0.notice Test

how can i do ?
Is there someone who can help me ?
thank you

I am thinking you might need a line terminator at the end of your echo statement - I may not be thinking clearly, but I think that'll work.  I think that is all logger is doing.

in order to add line terminator i tried in this way:
printf "<133>My message\n">/dev/log
but doesn't work
what am i missing ?
I'm a beginner in syslog so it's correct to write to /dev/log ?
thank you
