I have the following entries in my syslog.conf, and local2,3,4.warn log will go into /var/log/messages as well. As *.info include *.warn too *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none; /var/log/messages local2.warn /var/log/local2 local3.warn /var/log/local3 local4.warn /var/log/local4 May I know how to exclude the local.2,3,4.warn in /var/log/messages ? I tried the following , but endup the /var/log/messages no longer log any new messages after restarting syslog *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;\local2,local3,local4.none /var/log/messages __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
