A week or two ago I installed syslog-ng-1.6.0_rc3 because it does some filtering I require on logs from my firewall & printer, which access it by port 514.
Previously I had sysklogd-1.4.1 installed, and this had a script in cron.daily which zipped up & archived all old logfiles. Now that script is emailing me each day, because it can't find /usr/sbin/syslogd-listfiles; when I find a version of that, I find it is unsuitable for my system as it relies on /etc/syslog.conf to tell it which logs to zip. I guess I have two questions: - How come it's so hard to zip up all the files in /var/log..? Why are such long scripts needed..? - Why isn't syslog-ng supplied with a suitable cron script to tidy my logfiles..? Many thanks for everyone's time & patience, Stroller. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
