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... ---- Robert Watson (rnw+@andrew.cmu.edu) * Double major: IDS/CS * H&SS http://www.watson.org/ robert@fledge.watson.org
