echo

$ echo ${log_entry} | logger --tag ${tag}

This command is a bash command that involves two commands piped together.

echo ${log_entry}: This part echoes (prints) the value of the ${log_entry} variable. The ${log_entry} is a variable placeholder that should be substituted with an actual value. It could be a string or any other data type.
|: This is a pipe operator in bash that redirects the output of the preceding command to the input of the following command.
logger --tag ${tag}: This part uses the logger command to send logs to the system log. The --tag flag specifies a tag that identifies the log entry. The ${tag} is a variable placeholder that should be replaced with an actual value.

In summary, the command takes the value stored in the ${log_entry} variable and passes it as input to the logger command. The log entry is then logged with the specified tag ${tag}.
