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

[Kerry Thompson]

The logsurfer init script has an error in it. About line 125 it has:

base=logsurfer.log 2>&1 &

... which I think should be just

base=logsurfer.log

If you send me a copy of the /etc/init.d/logsurfer script (no need to send
it to the Loganalysis group) I could have a closer look at it.
