syslog shell expansion

Question

Is there an easy way to prevent the logging of commands run into syslog as post-shell expansion ?

I.e log a command of "ls *.log" as just that, rather than "ls a.log b.log c.log d.log" It makes rather a mess of the log files.

not sure what you're trying to do but you can just do : logger "ls *.log", maybe explain it better?
