For completeness sake, this would look like this: $ cat /etc/rsyslog.d/drop-user-messages.conf user.* /var/log/user.log & stop The point here is, that those rsyslog.d snippets are included before the rules in /etc/rsyslog.conf are processed. So you can log to user.log and stop any further processing, i.e. avoid it ends up in syslog and messages. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
