Log ParsingYou could cat xxx | grep yyy > newlog.txt

That would do it without stopping syslog.  Mind you, your log could get out
of hand because those entries are NOT removed.

Hi all,
I am writing a script to parse my system log (called xxxx) but I am not sure
on the best procedure to get the daily logs and store them. As it stands the
script stops syslog moves the file xxxx to a location and apends the date to
the file. It then touches xxxx and starts syslog.
Is that an acceptable way to do it ? Of course I loose logging info for the
time that it syslog is not running.
Thanks
Mark
