Subject: FW-1 and incident log processing - Beta 1.01 release - bug fixes 

alert.sh: 

 - Must use "cat | wc" so that the file name is not appended to the output 

 - Use fi and not } to close an if block (too much perl programming!) 

logprocessor.pl:

 - Added debug (a whole lot of debug). To enable, set the $debug variable to a file that the owner of the logprocessor.pl process can write to. If $debug="", no debug log should be written. 

 - Fixed bug in taint checking. I added taint checking as an afterthought (without thinking of course). This broke the program in the write phase. 

 - Added check for directory where to store the files. It will create the directory if it is missing.
