Hello,

I need to convert some existing syslog.conf files to the syslog-ng configuration. There is an utility syslog2ng which is packaged with syslog-ng. But does not work on solaris 10.

I am having the folowing error

./syslog2ng <syslog.conf> syslog-ng.conf ./syslog2ng: BEGIN: not found ./syslog2ng: getline: not found ./syslog2ng: syntax error at line 9: `close' unexpected
