Thanks a lot. That led me to believe that the file used to recognise smartd messages is /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/smartd which is a file written in a language I am not familiar with. I wonder if there is an easier and safer way to modify this file other than coding, perhaps by a file somewhere in /etc/logwatch? -- Erik. -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
