echo $SIZE
 
if [ "$SIZE" -ge 10000000 ]
  then
    `mv syslog.log syslog.log.$date | gzip syslog.log.$date | scp syslog.gz jdoe@system.com:\home\jdoe\logs `
  else
    echo "size not reached yet"
sleep 5
fi

get rid of those backquote and pipe
Code:
 
mv syslog.log syslog.log.$date 
gzip syslog.log.$date 
scp syslog.gz jdoe@system.com:\home\jdoe\logs
/or/
mv syslog.log syslog.log.$date  && mv syslog.log syslog.log.$date && 
scp syslog.gz jdoe@system.com:\home\jdoe\logs

NAME
syslog2dlf - convert syslog log files to DLF SYNOPSIS
syslog2dlf DESCRIPTION
This script uses the Lire::Syslog module to create a DLF representation of the syslog log files. It can process all the syslog log formats supported by that module. EXAMPLES
To process a log as produced by syslog: $ syslog2dlf < syslog.log syslog2dlf will be rarely used on its own, but is more likely called by lr_log2report: $ lr_log2report syslog < /var/log/syslog.log SEE ALSO
