OK, I have pushed a change.
Please see the bug.
A new version 0.5-8 (ignore -6 and -7 as I made some mistakes) should be in smetest shortly. Please help by verifying the update fixes the issue and we can release this ASAP. Thanks.
Old string was:
/usr/bin/dehydrated -c 2>&1 > | logger -t dehydrated
New string is:
/usr/bin/dehydrated -c 2>&1 | logger -t dehydrated
Progress should be observed in the logs.
