What I meant is your subject line. ;) You could at least track down to which package a program belongs, e.g. with RPM. As a last resort, that often works with Google. Actually if you had searched for the program names (note your spelling mistake: it's called "removeservice", not "rmoveservice"), it would have returned pages about logwatch. One problem with logwatch (is this about Red Hat Linux 8.0) could be the heavy usage of regular expression pattern matching. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+YSlH0iMVcrivHFQRAlyvAJ9SHCAQzbf1KWeQefPcSQUnZPaC+wCfTMMW rweNo87aX6m4ezOLibze9Nc= =Nk4N -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
