He there,
I'm trying to use the omprog module on a Red Hat 6 system (rsyslog 5.8.10).
The following config chunk logs correctly to "/var/log/omtest" but does not
launch and pipe to echotest. No errors from rsyslog are reported.
"echotest" is a C binary that just listens to stdin and writes it to a test
file. Is it possible that omprog won't work in a non-default ruleset?

$RuleSet omtest
