Problem running newsyslog
Greets, I am trying to get newsyslog running, and for some reason when I run newsyslog, it skips over my syslog entry. Here is a copy of the configuration file that I am using: /home3/jo/mail/SPAM jo.admin600 3 * * B When I run newsyslog in verbose mode, these are the results I get: homer# newsyslog -v -f /home3/jo/josyslog.conf /home3/jo/mail/SPAM 3: -- skipping I can't understand why it is skipping my entry. I have specified with the *'s that I want this to run every time I run newsyslog on my config file. Here is a listing of my config file: homer# ls -l josyslog.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 41 Dec 30 16:26 josyslog.conf Does anyone have any idea why it might be skipping my entry?
