[syslog-ng]syslog-ng messages sent to outside prog

[Jay Guerette]

A modified code snippet that will remove the leading <nn> facility/priority
indicator when shlepping log lines to an external proggie:

<code>
#! /bin/bash

# this line enables the extended globbing in bash to make this possible
shopt -s extglob
while read LOGLINE
do
     echo ${LOGLINE/+([0-9<>])} | mail wakemeup@noon.ok
done
</code>

I hope that at this artificial inflation of a small species into the absolute
measure of things one is still permitted to laugh?
