After reading Dallman's post I was going to say it's the same as
LOG=`export;`
Bart replied first, saying,
Er, that should be just the same as
LOG=`export`
but I honestly believe that Bart's syntax is wrong and mine is right.
Procmail is not going to find an executable named "export" in $PATH;
export is a shell built-in and can be used only within a shell.
You may find that
LOG=`typeset +x`
is a better choice.
I have the same disagreement there --
LOG=`typeset +x;`
because typeset is also a shell built-in and not an executable.
