<b>Subject:</b> [wplug] Cleaning up /var/log/messages<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am using autofs for a number of machines connecting nfs
shares. All the mount and unmount log entries on the server are being
saved to /var/log/messages currently. This is becoming a bit of a pain
because as the number of hosts increase and various monitoring scripts check to
be sure that they have access to the nfs shares it is filling up messages on
the nfs server. I would like to continue to see these messages but I
would like to see them put else where but looking through the documentation for
syslog I couldn't find any way to separate just those messages out. I assume(hope)
that someone else has run into this problem and found a way around it. My
googlefoo has failed me on this one though I might just not be looking for the
right thing.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Rob<o:p></o:p></p>
