[logs] Error message with init script for redhat : ": line 126: [: too many arguments"

[Florent Gilain]

Hello all,

 

I’m a new user of logsurfer, I’m running it onto a RHEL3ES linux server.

 

Here is the output of the redhat init script with a “set –x” added into it :

+ exit 0

 

 

Any idea of what I missed in order to correct the “: line 126: [: too many
arguments” error message at stop / start of logsurfer ?

 

Thanks

 

Florent
