You're right, I'm moving that little check below.

I've fixed some of this in the latest revision actually, the other day...
you've got several issues there - whether we can reasonably expect people to
not quote MAILTO which isn't set up by default - that's a rather realistic
one, and it's fixed already, whether we can reasonably expect people to
remove other random variables completely and not quote them, and various
odd things like using spaces in file names but not quoting them. I'm not
convinced that all of these situations are all worth preventing :)

This leaves the log file in a publically readable place, which people might
not want, so I'd leave it as an option...

This would be another change to the style, which people could be used to
(they could have checking scripts parsing the log.0), so I'd leave it alone.

It does the same as 'grep rsync', but it will prevent matching *itself*
in the ps output. Oldest trick in the book, really :)

This might be problematic with rsync semantics, which is why it has the
slash, but I don't recall. Someone should test :)
