Data how to parse /etc/syslog.conf file
Hello there,

Guys I've got an issue and I need a hint...I have to parse /etc/syslog.conf file (under solaris) and need to get all path accordingly to all logs configured in there.

Bellow it's my syslog.conf file. If anybody knows more about this please let me know. Thanks .

Code:
#ident    "@(#)syslog.conf    1.5    98/12/14 SMI"    /* SunOS 5.0 */
#
# Copyright (c) 1991-1998 by Sun Microsystems, Inc.

#
# syslog configuration file.
#
# This file is processed by m4 so be careful to quote (`') names
# that match m4 reserved words.  Also, within ifdef's, arguments
# containing commas must be quoted.
#
*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice            /dev/sysmsg
*.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit    /var/adm/messages

*.alert;kern.err;daemon.err            operator
*.alert                        root

*.emerg                        *

# if a non-loghost machine chooses to have authentication messages
# sent to the loghost machine, un-comment out the following line:
#auth.notice            ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/authlog, @loghost)

mail.debug            ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost)

#
# non-loghost machines will use the following lines to cause "user"
# log messages to be logged locally.
#
ifdef(`LOGHOST', ,
user.err                    /dev/sysmsg
user.err                    /var/adm/messages
user.alert                    `root, operator'
user.emerg                    *
)

Hi,

We need to get from this config files ALL the paths to log files that configured , for example :
/var/adm/messages
/dev/sysmsg
