Could be the sign of a missing quotation mark or paren above in the rcfile.
.. I've inserted
LOG = "$_ u:$LOGNAME h:$HOME m:$MAILDIR$NL"
after the LOGFILE entry in both user & system rc files,
and attach ./procdiag.sh run as user adam (below).
The insersion Ruud suggested only helps if you find the logfile and look
at it. You need to find the current logfile first, though, which you
apparently have not done. See my interjected posts for some not overly
complicated ways to do that. I had deleted the Cc's to you on those
and written only the list. I hope you saw them.

Still a problem. But not the one you've been looking for.

You might want to fix the issue warned about.
