[syslog-ng]syslog2ng not working on Solaris10

[Stew Redfield]

on Solaris10 (s10_63 at least)=20
/usr/bin/awk=20
||=20
/usr/bin/nawk

Usually that error means a missing ' in the script or sourced in config.


Happy non-religious merry generic holiday greetings...

Look at the first few lines of syslog2ng:

  #!/usr/bin/awk -f
  #
  # syslog2ng
  #
  # Translator from syslog.conf to syslog-ng.conf
  # by Jonathan W. Marks <j-marks@uiuc.edu>

You probably don't have /usr/bin/awk - maybe Sun keeps it in /bin,
/usr/ucb, or some other directory?
