Behaviour of LOG pattern

Hi all,

I just noticed that when not using a regular expression in LOG
statements in hobbit-clients.cfg, hobbit compares the expression to the
whole line. This is somewhat misleading (and different from BigBrother's
behaviour) and should be documented as such.

That is, the example from the manual :

LOG /var/adm/syslog ERROR

should read

LOG /var/adm/syslog %ERROR

unless you want a line with the only word "ERROR".

(I use hobbit 4.2.0 + oct2006' allinonepatch)


Regards,
