The configuration file analogditr.cfg specified an OUTFILE that overrode
+O-, so no output got to stdout. If you want command line arguments to
override the configuration file, you have to put them after the +g.

to set everything up at once! First get analog to work on its own, or
analog|less or something, then analog|mail, then cron it.
