Subject:   syslogd/syslog.conf -- local0.notice routing
Message-ID:  <skQ=9Li00YUwMiJ2R4@andrew.cmu.edu>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I'd like to route my popper logging somewhere other than
/var/log/messages, and don't have much experience with pursuading
syslogd not to log things ;).  I'd like all of my normal .notice
messages to go where they normally go (messages, etc), but I'd like
local0.notice (the popper messages) to go only to /var/log/popper, and
no where else.  From the syslog.conf man page, I could glean something
about a 

!prog
*.*				/var/..

wherein a specific program is referenced -- is this program the program
that sends the message to syslog, or is it just a marker that could
really be anything?  I'd guess from the man page that

!popper
*.*			/var/log/popper

would route popper messages only to there, but it's hard to tell without
a nice big example file.  Help soon would be appreciated, as while my
/var is a large partition, it makes log interpretation a pain, even with
grep-v ;)

Thanks...
