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...
