Yes, that's why I tried adding "cron.!*" to the rule. But it seems that it was overriden by "*.=info" rule, which was below the "cron.!*". > The cron logs come from the daemon facility. I have the following line > is syslog.conf: > *.notice |/dev/xconsole The default rule looks like this: ,----[ syslog.conf ] | daemon.*;mail.*;\ | news.crit;news.err;news.notice;\ | *.=debug;*.=info;\ | *.=notice;*.=warn |/dev/xconsole `---- It seems that if I simplify it to the extent you propose, I might lose some information that I'd rather see. I *ony* wanted to get rid of cron logging its normal activities. In case anyone was following, changing the above to the following solved my problem. ,----[ syslog.conf ] | daemon.*;mail.!*;\ | news.crit;news.err;news.notice;\ | *.=debug;*.=info;\ | cron.!info;\ | *.=notice;*.=warn |/dev/xconsole `---- Cheers, -- Arcady Genkin Don't read everything you believe.
