 logger -c sets LOG_CONS.  But LOG_CONS doesn't mean "log to console",
 as logger(1) mistakenly claims, it's "fallback to console"
 
   LOG_CONS      If syslog() cannot pass the message to syslogd(8) it will
                 attempt to write the message to the console
                 ("/dev/console").
