Package: approx Version: 2.8.0 Severity: wishlist Approx is very verbose when writing to syslog. When running approx on a busy site, the system logs become full quickly with approx entries. So much so, that syslog will often discard them, ie "last message repeated 7 times"
Would it be possible to have a config file option to lower its verbosity and/or turn off logging to syslog? Also, it may be desired on some sites to have approx write to it's own logfile, say, /var/log/approx.log Thanks -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages approx depends on: ii adduser 3.99 Add and remove users and groups ii bzip2 1.0.3-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii curl 7.15.5-1 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS, FT ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpcre3 6.7-1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii lsb-base 3.1-15 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip approx recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
