@khurshid-alam I think you misunderstand the intent of the code. This demonstrates the origination of NEW messages, written to syslog.
I think what you are really asking is "how can take stderr from an existing script, and redirect that to syslog?" If so: http://urbanautomaton.com/blog/2014/09/09/redirecting-bash-script-output-to-syslog/ (or some variant of that for your use case...)
