[syslog-ng]$HOST $YEAR, etc not working correctly..

[Doug Peterson]

Hi Chuck --

How do you specify your options then if the only entry in destination is file() ?

I tried doing this:

destination messages.network {
file("/var/log/hosts/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/messages\_$HOST\_$YEAR\_$MONTH\_$DAY" );
                                owner(root) group(sysadmin) perm(0640) dir_perm(0700)
create_dirs(yes) };

but got syntax errors.
