#917 postscripts/syslog

[Andrew Stepanov]

Suppose my /etc/sysconfig/syslogd have:

SYSLOGD_OPTIONS='-u syslogd -j /var/resolv'

Postscript postscripts/syslog does not do hers work.

Problem is at AWK code:

awk '{if($0 ~ /^SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=|^SYSLOGD_PARAMS=/) {
if ($0 !~ /-r/) {sub(/\"$/, " -r\"", $0)}
if ($0 !~ /-h/) {sub(/\"$/, " -h\"", $0)}
if (($0 !~ /-m0/) && ($0 !~/-m 0/)) { sub(/\"$/, " -m 0\"", $0)}
print $0}
else { print $0}}' $sysconfig > $sysconfig.tmp

\"$ is not best way to indicate line with options. Shell script uses two types quotes ' and ".

Pattern \"$ doesn't match line with options in single quotes '.

Compare:
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS='-u syslogd -j /var/resolv' -- NO WORK
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-u syslogd -j /var/resolv" -- WORK

See patch for resolve this bug or maybe lookup for better solution.
