Proper comment usage

2002-12-08 12:12:51
Howdy all.  Quick question for you.  Can I use a # comment within a
multi-line command?  exp (note, the sed line will proably wrap):

        :0f
        # Run it through spamassassin -d to remove the X-Spam* headers
        | $SA -d | \
          # Munge the userid(_at_)*(_dot_)sktc(_dot_)net
          $SED -e 
"s/\<[-+_a-zA-Z0-9]*(_at_)[-_a-zA-Z0-9\(_dot_)]*sktc\(_dot_)net/MUNGED(_at_)sktc(_dot_)net/gi"
 \
               # Remove the subject line ***SPAM*** string
               -e "s/\*\*\*SPAM\*\*\* *//gi" | \
          # Remove the ReSent, X-Envelope-To, and X-Scanned-By headers
          $FORMAIL -I ReSent \
                   -I X-Envelope-To: \
                   -I X-Scanned-By:


The reason I ask is because I'm seeing some odd things in my log file.

procmail: Locking "/var/mail/spool/spamtrap.lock"
procmail: [10104] Sun Dec  8 12:52:56 2002
procmail: Executing " $SA -d | \
          # Munge the userid(_at_)*(_dot_)sktc(_dot_)net"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/mail/spool/spamtrap"
procmail: Opening "/var/mail/spool/spamtrap"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
/bin/sh: -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of file
procmail: [10104] Sun Dec  8 12:52:56 2002
procmail: Error while writing to " $SA -d | \
          # Munge the userid(_at_)*(_dot_)sktc(_dot_)net"
procmail: Unlocking "/var/mail/spool/spamtrap.lock"
procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded
procmail: Notified comsat: "spamtrap(_at_)5906893:/var/mail/spool/spamtrap"

The code and log I quote are just part of the whole recipe and error entry
but I figure it's enough.  The 3rd line in the error message is what
caught my eye first.  The /bin/sh error was next.  Finally the "Error
while writing" line caught my attention.  Can I use comments like that
without a \ on those lines too?  Is it more proper to put the comment at
the end of the line after the \?  Thanks

Justin
