Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.54
Severity: normal
When running logcheck, i get alot of
Sep 3 14:26:29 fred last message repeated 2 times
Sep 3 14:26:30 fred last message repeated 2 times
Sep 3 14:26:32 fred last message repeated 2 times
Sep 3 14:26:33 fred last message repeated 2 times
Sep 3 14:26:34 fred last message repeated 2 times
type output, this is both rather useless, and a good waste of inbox space (I
can get hundeds of these
sometimes (mainly due to ftp server)
I had thought about setting up an ignore rule for them, however when they are
actually relevant to a
line that hasnt been removed, i would loose that info. It would be best, if the
line immediately
proceeding the message repeaded line was 'ignored' then this line should get
ignored to, and it should
be kept when the line above is not ignored.
