I guess you're looking for something like this:

---------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

## Log file to watch
watch_log=/myown/logfile.log

## Syslog facility.level to log to
syslog_prio=daemon.notice

/usr/bin/tail -f $watch_log | \
        /usr/bin/logger -p $syslog_prio
----------------------------------------------

An event e's being F realizes e's being G just in case (i) e is F,
(ii) e is G, (iii) for all e it is (physically) necessary that if e
is F then e is G, and (iv) e's being F explains e's being G.
