daemons logging to a file

Hi,

I want to run a program under svscan with logs piped to multilog.
Unfortunately this program can only log to either syslog or to a file.

My first idea was a fifo, that is read by a program that prints to 
stdout (cat) and let the program log to this fifo ... something like 

test -e "$fifo" && rm -f "$fifo"
mknod -m666 $fifo p
cat $fifo &
exec setuidgid $uid $program

This looks a bit kludgy. Has anyone a better idea (besides patching the 
program or using another one)?
