	Okay, upgrading to the latest version solved the last two errors, 
but still didn't solve the "bad substitution" error on Solaris. 
Switching the script to use bash seems to solve that problem.

	However, I believe that the LR_HOME value should be set during 
the ./configure, and put into the shell script so that you don't have 
to define it in the environment before you call lr_log2mail.


	Unfortunately, even after setting LR_HOME correctly (at least, I 
think it was correct), I still get an error:

$ lr_log2mail email postfix blk at skynet.be < /var/log/mail.debug
all all none lr_log2mail info started with email postfix
all all none lr_log2mail error please give at least 4 args, 
indicating superservice service addressee host (flags)

	I don't understand why I have to specify the host.  If this 
argument is not specified, can't the program figure out what the 
hostname of the local machine is, and use that?  Also, shouldn't we 
be able to specify a default recipient of all reports during the 
./configure, or have it automatically default to sending that stuff 
to root on the local machine?

	Unfortunately, even if I fully specify everything, it still bombs:

$ lr_log2mail email postfix blk at skynet.be fatbert.skynet.be < 
/var/log/mail.debug
all all none lr_log2mail info started with email postfix 
blk at skynet.be fatbert.skynet.be
unknown all none lr_log2report info started with email postfix
/usr/local/bin/lr_log2report: error: not found
/usr/local/bin/lr_log2report: !: not found
/usr/local/bin/lr_log2report: !: not found
/usr/local/bin/lr_log2report: SUPERSERVICE=email: is not an identifier
email postfix none lr_log2mail error lr_log2report failed


	I'm going to give this new version a try under FreeBSD and see 
what happens.
