- If anyone wants it, I have a version of syslogd that I use,
- which allows you to specify regular expressions as log file entries.
- I.e.: you can have all log entries with a string like:
-
- "su: BADSU" /var/adm/badsulog
- "su: BADSU" !/usr/ucb/mail -s BADSU mjr
-
- As the second example implies, you can specify a shell command
- that will be run with the system log entry as input if the pattern is
- matched.

- mjr.
