Say you have some number of syslog messages directed to the console:
auth,authpriv,daemon,kern,user,local0.* /dev/console
Now we want local0 messages that come from "myapp" to also be sent to anyone
who's logged into the system:
!myapp
local0.* *
For the purposes of this discussion, these two sections may be considered
the entirety of the (current) syslog.conf file in the order presented. Is
there a way to formulate syslog.conf so that if someone is using the console,
only a single stream of messages from myapp is displayed? FWIW, we don't
care about local0 messages from anything other than myapp.
Thanks,
Mike
