logger question

[FranzPatot]

¿Can I use logger to write to a file of my own? If yes, ¿how?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Not directly. logger writes to the syslog service, and then you can configure syslog (actually syslog-ng now in openSUSE) to separate out your messages to another file if you wish, or if not, it will end up in /var/log/messages by default.
