Description of problem: The filename /var/log/messages is hardcoded in the kerneloops binary. This means that it's basically unusable if (for example) the machine is running syslog-ng and the actual filename is /var/log/messages-YYYYMMDD or similar. It would be good if it supported a '-f filename' option, at which point I can handle the rest of the problem (like dealing with a changing filename) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kerneloops-0.10-11.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
You can add '--file <name>' and it will scan that file in addition to the hardcoded /var/log/messages.
