Begin3 Title: chklogs: Check System Logs Version: 2.0-2 Entered-date: 14OCT97 Description: A Perl script (can be cron'ed) for maintenance of system logs. It checks your list of system logs against maximum allowed sizes specified by you. If a log has grown past its limit it can truncate them to zero size , archive them or alternatively execute a program of your choice (plug-out). Either of these actions can be specified per log. When archiving shuffling is performed (remove oldest archive) when the maximum nr. of archives has been reached. This maximum nr. is also specified on a per log basis. Report can be produced on stdout or sent by mail to admin user. It can also just check without taking any further action besides reporting. Additionally it supports age-based thresholds instead of size. Supports global and local repositories, syslog control, logical groups and other features. Graphical User Interface distributed separately (xchklogs).
