Extracting a Time Span from Syslog Messages File
Hi all,

I need your help to explain how I can extract a time span from the syslog messages file on a Solaris 10 system.
Here is an example extract of the syslog messages:
Code:
Dec  4 11:51:38 hajap141-0107.nls.jlrint.com 267938: Dec  4 11:51:36: %DOT11-6-DISASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating Station 000f.f84e.0d00 Reason: Previous authentication no longer valid
Dec  4 11:51:43 solap149-b48h.nls.jlrint.com 440904: Dec  4 11:51:42: %DOT11-6-ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Station  0040.96b4.f18b Reassociated KEY_MGMT[NONE]
Dec  4 11:51:43 solap162-b48h.nls.jlrint.com 660076: Dec  4 11:51:42: %DOT11-6-ROAMED: Station 0040.96b4.f18b Roamed to 0023.ac5a.df30

I would like help to extract messages from "Dec 4" from 11:00 to 11:15.

Regards, Wynford

syslog

SYSLOG(8)                                                         System Logging                                                         SYSLOG(8)

NAME

       syslog-ng, syslogd

DESCRIPTION

       There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd

       The  first  installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
       But this depends on the software selection during the installation.

       The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
       SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

       The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.

       The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
