    Well, for the first time I am saving something in /var/log/tomato.log!

        [root at box9 bobg]$ ll /var/log/tomato.log
        -rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 266 Aug 20 10:16 /var/log/tomato.log


        [root at box9 bobg]$ cat /var/log/tomato.log
        Aug 20 10:16:37 box9 rsyslogd: the last error occured in
        /etc/rsyslog.d/emptyfile.conf, line 3:":source, isequal, tomato
        /var/log/tomato.log"
        Aug 20 10:16:37 box9 rsyslogd: the last error occured in
        /etc/rsyslog.d/emptyfile.conf, line 4:":source, isequal, tomato ~"

    It looks like it may want "box9" instead of "tomato" there?
