SYSLOGD-LISTFILES !!!SYSLOGD-LISTFILES NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS SEE ALSO ---- !!NAME syslogd-listfiles - list system logfiles !!SYNOPSIS __syslogd-listfiles__ [[ __-a__ | __--all__ ] [[ __--auth__ ] [[ __-f__ ''config file'' ] [[ __-s__ ''pattern'' ] [[ __--large__ ''nnn'' ] [[ __--news__ ] [[ __-w__ | __--weekly__ ] !!DESCRIPTION __Sysklogd__ provides a modern mechanism to log system messages. This mechanism is controlled by the file ''/etc/syslog.conf''. Messages are divided into logfiles which can grow quite big. Therefore the logfiles need to be rotated once per day, per week or per month. On a Debian GNU/Linux system most of the files are rotated once per week. This program helps the rotation script to determine which logfiles need to be rotated and when. It takes care of news logfiles that are handled by the __news.daily__ script from INN. In conjunction with the scripts in ''/etc/cron.daily'' and ''/etc/cron.weekly'' it takes care of files with sensitive information. By default a list of files for daily rotation is generated. At the moment this option only reflects entries that contain !!OPTIONS __-a__, __--all__ List all logfiles and ignore all other rules. __-f__ ''config file'' Specify an alternative configuration file instead of ''/etc/syslog.conf'', which is the default. __-s__ ''pattern'' Specify a regular expression for files that must not be listed. __--auth__ Only list files containing sensitive information such as the one containing auth.*. __--large__ ''nnn'' Define the filesize for a large file. The size is provided in bytes. This value defaults to 10 megabytes. __--ignore-size__ Don't rotate files whose file size is larger than the regular limit (see above). This option is useful if you are postprocessing logfiles which would break if log files are rotated at a different date/time. __--news__ Don't exclude news logfiles which are normally handled by the __news.daily__ script from INN. __-w__, __--weekly__ Generate the list for weekly rotation. !!SEE ALSO syslog.conf(5), syslogd(8), savelog(8). ----
