main: drop hardcoded /usr/bin/logger path

The hardcoded full paths were introduced to handle the
case of an empty PATH environment variable. However,

value if empty. The hardcoded paths are no longer neccessary,
and cause problems on some distros:

  just to chime in - please don't hardcode paths, for example I'm on
  NixOS and logger lives in /run/current-system/sw/bin/logger

Drop the hardcoded paths.
