LOGGING MECHANISM
-----------------
ccollect logging depends on running in non-interactive/interactive mode
and on specified optins. The mechanism behaves as the following:
non-interactive mode::
* standard output goes to syslog
* optional: specify logging into file
* log all output by default
* optional: log only errors
interactive mode::
* standard output goes to stdout
* log only errors
* optional: log into syslog or file
- log all output by default
- optional: log only errors
