INN commit: trunk (backends/sendinpaths.in doc/pod/ninpaths.pod)

Revision: 9289

sendinpaths:  add a pattern for the dump filenames

Only process files whose name begin with "inpaths." for legacy reasons
(behaviour of the previous sendinpaths shell script).  It will prevent
issues on <pathlog>/path being symlinked to another directory.

Also abort the run of sendinpaths if we cannot chdir() to the log directory.

Thanks to The Doctor for having reported the problem.
