A few days ago I finally finished setting up my old P233 to act as a firewall for my home LAN. I am using metalog for the logger and have it filtering all netfilter logging into /var/log/iptables, and rotating the file daily.
I already have postfix and everything set up so that any mail to root on
the firewall gets relayed to my mail server on the local network.
I know metalog has a "command" directive, but that calls a command for each entry. Is there anyway to mail the most recently rotated log each day?
cron demon is your friend
just write a command which sends file e.g.:
mail -s "iptables log" </path/logfile
to crontab in /var/spool or better to /etc/cron.daily/iptables.mail (U can find some examples in that dir.)
