Hi, I'll try reducing and rephrasing my question/s ..
Which syslog facility.level is used for {tcp,udp}.log_in_vain messages?
*.notice;authpriv.none;kern.debug;mail.crit;news.err;ntp.err;local0.none;ftp.none /var/log/messages
[..]
I'd like to parse out just the log_in_vain messages, dumping what in my
circumstances is log-spamming trivia to another file, while allowing the
unexpected, more interesting stuff to get to /var/log/messages as usual
- or to another file if it's a problem appending /var/log/messages from
syslog output piped to (say) a sh script, as well as directly as above.
Any hints or howtos welcome, even RT(which?)FS, though I'm short of code
reading time, what with all the dragons ..
cheers, Ian
