While I belive that you would rm -rf all of the man || info || doc files on a subject here is some food for thought before you RECOMMEND it to other users.
When a daemon or process writes to syslogd the result is something similar to this: Jan 7 13:18:18 ServerX login[6766]: ROOT LOGIN on `ttyp2' from `Amachine.somenet.$ Jan 7 13:22:29 ServerX named[304]: Cleaned cache of 0 RRs Jan 7 13:22:29 ServerX named[304]: USAGE 1073503349 1073460149 CPU=0u/0.01s $ Jan 7 13:22:29 ServerX named[304]: NSTATS 1073503349 1073460149 A=4 PTR=1
NOTE the named[304] and login[6766] because this is REALLY important.
Now when syslogd writes its --MARK-- to the messages file it looks something like this: Jan 7 12:45:28 ServerX -- MARK -- Jan 7 13:05:29 ServerX -- MARK --
OK, now use your keen detective skills, because I know what an itellectual individual that you are, and point out where in the above two lines that it clearly states that this is the result of the syslogd. Be carefull and look REAL REAL close, point made huh?
I am not into jumping into peoples shit, but `really` I have maybe only so much time in life and I cannot go reading through every minuscule of documentation regarding software that may || may not have changed? Now if I knew every damn thing, then subscribing to these groups could most certainly be considered futile, no? I apologize again for being OFFTOPIC. However, I needed a place to start. I will try very hard not to let it happen again.
