Thanks, Craig. I'm going to try this trick. But even single words aren't
working reliably for me.

Has anyone managed to use a rule with spaces?

ie.

LOG /var/log/syslog "%disk full" COLOR=red

I have tried using quotes, escaping quotes, escaping spaces,
etc.  Nothing has worked.  Reduced to individual words to get something
working.

Spaces should work but we use \s to represent spaces.

Example:

LOG /var/adm/messages.da
%(?-i)Fail|fail|On\sbattery|AC\sline\sfault|Replace\sbattery|Battery\snot
COLOR=yellow

The (?-i) tells pcre to turn case-sensitive pattern matching on.
