This is in preparation of a functional improvement proposal: to allow
the specification of multiple programs/host names for each entry.
Currently, you can have
*.* all.log
!ppp
*.* ppp.log
If you want to avoid duplicate log entries, you can also use:
!-ppp
*.* all.log
!ppp
*.* ppp.log
But then if you also have
!ipmon
*.* ipmon.log
then you cannot have an all.log file from which you exclude *both*
ppp and ipmon entries.
The proposed future change would allow the following syntax:
!-ppp,-ipmon
*.* all.log
!ppp
*.* ppp.log
!ipmon
*.* ipmon.log
If a log file is configured with a program specification, then a
message would be logged only if it matches any of the positive
program indications, and none of the negative specifications.
The same would hold for host specifications.
Thomas.
