The ohai and facter modules use /usr/bin/logger to log the fact that
they have been invoked. I added 'import os' to the ping module
so that it could have the same syslog statements as the other modules.
I separated the condensed:
shlex.split(open(argfile, 'r').read())
into two separate statements similar to the other modules.
is still kicking off. Should not happen except in modules that are somewhat slow to load and probably
can be fixed better than the included sleep, i.e. some IPC communication that the process has
launched and is ok to exit. This works pretty well for now though.
