You could write a Perl script to parse them and email them to you ...

That's what I did for about 14 of my customers... I get an email daily that emails me the logs.

You could take that a step further and have them FTP'd to a central server instead and then
write another script to go through and display only those things in the log that look funny
or out of the ordinary.

We have a few servers and we are getting tired of having to log into each of them to check the logfile. (like tail -f /var/somelog)

Is there a way to log things like /var/log/messages and /var/log/maillog to one central logging server ?

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's
too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry
that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"

Unix IS user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
System Administration - It's a dirty job, but somebody said I had to do it.
If you receive something that says 'Send this to everyone you know,
pretend you don't know me.
