Hi, I'm messing around with upsd (it's in xperiment on the CD), with my SmartUPS. And it's working fine. Other than the annoying: Jul 30 15:05:06 horton upsd[427]: apc_tune: negative response: NO message. Which is a back handed way of saying, communications is ok, isn't it? Anyway. I want all messages from it to go to /var/log/upsd.log instead of /var/log/messages. I started by changing it's facility from LOG_DAEMON to LOG_LOCAL3, but that didn't do it (the *.notice in syslogd.conf keeps sending it to messages). So next, after reading (ok maybe not closely enough) the syslog.conf man page, I put at the bottom of the file: !upsd *.* /var/log/upsd.log But messages still go to /var/log/messages. I kill -HUP'd and killed and restarted syslogd to no avail. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Paul. -- I now leave, not knowing when or whether ever I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington.
