[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng and External variables

[Scheidler, Balázs]

Only at config parse time.

Regarding the back tick case, are you sure HOSTNAME is set for the
syslog-ng process itself? Or is it only set for your interactive shell.

On Linux you can check this in proc, /proc/<pid>/env, but I guess similar
exists on freebsd.

I guess the only remaining question on this is a performance one.

Would the exec be done for each and every log message or is it done only
once?
