[NTLUG:Discuss] Writing to /var/log/messages ?

[David Simmons, PE]

I'm creating a simple script to erase a recent rash of Microsoft's
errors to 'clean up after itself' with the following and want to:

find/erase commands | wc -l > echo " to log file  "

to /var/log/messages.....is there some 'command' type way or just do a:

find/erase commands | wc -l >> /var/log/messages

??  Thanks...here's the 'real' command/script if needed:

find / -name "~*.tmp" -print -exec rm "{}" \;
