Hi *,
I have recently uploaded the latest release of Chklogs
(v1.9) which fixes the (few) reported problems, you
must upgrade. If you haven't tried it yet (chklogs) this
is the time.
The LSM entry is attached below. For more information
about Chklogs see the informational page:
www.iaehv.nl/users/grimaldo/info/
Via the `chklogs' link you can view the main document
(revised for new release), the online manual pages and
online release notes.
I is already placed at Sunsite (ok), Funet (may take
some time) and of course the primary site. In case of
re-builds of the current release you will find them
in the primary site *only*.
There is a GUI (xchklogs) too, no home page for that
yet but the package is available at the same sites.

Title: chklogs: Check System Logs
Version: 1.9
Entered-date: 17MAR97
Description: A Perl script (can be cron'ed) for maintenance of system
logs. It checks your list of system logs against maximum
allowed sizes specified by you. If a log has grown past its
limit it can truncate them to zero size , archive them or
alternatively execute a program of your choice (plug-out).
Either of these actions can be specified per log. When
archiving shuffling is performed (remove oldest archive)
when the maximum nr. of archives has been reached. This
maximum nr. is also specified on a per log basis. Report
can be produced on stdout or sent by mail to admin user.
It can also just check without taking any further action
besides reporting.
Additionally it supports age-based thresholds instead of
size. Supports global and local repositories, syslog control,
logical groups and other features. Graphical User Interface
distributed separately (xchklogs).
