Summary: check_log errors on non-Linux platforms

Initial Comment:
I am running check_log from the 1.4 release (unchanged
in 1.4.2) on Solaris 8. It gives shell errors and falis
to work correctly because:
a) chmod command is unrecognised (no path) in the case
where mktemp is not available;
b) tail command uses GNU-specific long option instead
of generic alternative.

The attached patch fixes these issues and also adds:
 - variable definitions for CHMOD and TOUCH to match
command usage in rest of script;
 - use of extended grep (egrep) in place of grep to
support full regex matching; assume this works on all
supported platforms.
