# Alternatively, set to "1" to enable unique sorting
#SORTUNIQ=0

# This must be an absolute path

# Set a different location for temporary files than /tmp
# this is useful if your /tmp is small and you are getting
# errors such as:
# cp: writing `/tmp/logcheck.y12449/checked': No space left on device
# /usr/sbin/logcheck: line 161: cannot create temp file for here document: No space left on device
# mail: /tmp/mail.RsXXXXpc2eAx: No space left on device
# Null message body; hope that's ok
#
# If this is happening, likely you will want to change the following to be some other
# location, such as /var/tmp
TMP="/tmp"
