Hi,I am currently porting a rsyslog configuration to RainerScript syntax for rsyslog-7.6.3. I converted 1: *.=debug;\ 2: auth,authpriv.none;\ 3: news.none;mail.none /var/log/debug into 1: *.=debug;\ 2: auth,authpriv.none;\ 3: news.none;mail.none action( 4: type="omfile" 5: File="/var/log/debug" 6: ) but I am getting the following error: # /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -N 1 -f /etc/rsyslog.conf rsyslogd: version 7.6.3, config validation run (level 1), master config /etc/rsyslog.conf rsyslogd: error during parsing file /etc/rsyslog.conf, on or before line 3: invalid character '(' in object definition - is there an invalid escape sequence somewhere?

it's not supported, it's also not needed. rsyslog treats newlines like any other whitespace inside a statement (yeah, I've been caught by it as well) David Lang _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
