I apologize to all who have seen this before. BUT since I cannot find my original post here, I am going to try again.
I am sure that all of Unix Gurus will laugh at my ignorance, but I still cannot break through this wall. The syntax of syslogd.conf is a complete mystery of arcane directives that I have been unable to juggle.. I currently have a set up that send all messages from TASKA to LOGA... All messages from TASKB to LOGB. There is also a 'catchall' that sends all the messages to a common log file. What I would 'like' to do is replace the 'catchall' with a selection screen that exclude TASKA and TASKB messages but still collects the rest of the syslog traffic. =-=-=--=-=- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
