A *much* better alternative to logwatch is logcheck.  It emails you on
log file exceptions instead of emailing you everyday with stuff you
don't care about.  I run logcheck hourly on all my servers and with
properly tuned ignore files, it's quiet unless there's something that I
need to know about.

Ed,

Do you have a URL for downloading logcheck? I can't find it on the RH site, and the only other location I can find it

http://linux.maruhn.com/sec/logcheck.html

seems to have products geared primarily for Debian and FreeBSD.

um ... nevermind. I found it by googling on LogSentry. Thanks anyway.

Bill
