[syslog-ng] program destination problem (again...)

[Alberto Sierra]

hi there,

i know this is been discussed like a million times already but i'm
stuck and can't get around this.

i'm using a program destination in my syslog-ng config, like this:
destination test_log { file("/var/log/testlog"); };
destination sshd_alerts {
program("/usr/local/bin/ssh_alert_by_email.sh" template("$DATE $HOST
$PROGRAM $MSGONLY")); };

filter sshd { program("sshd"); };
filter login_accepted { match("Accepted password|Accepted publickey"); };


log {
        source(s_all);
        filter(sshd);
        filter(login_accepted);
        destination(sshd_alerts);
        destination(test_log);
};

and the script as follows:

#!/bin/bash
while read line ; do
echo $line >> /tmp/testlog
done

that's it,  it logs to the destination(test_log) but the script does nothing.

i followed a similar thread:
https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2008-March/011512.html

and the script works well interactively in the shell. I think i hit a
dead end here... btw version 2.0.9
