In input file, you can see there are more space after IP address. So it should ignore that space though content is matching.
I am comparing input file enteries should be matching with the host file enteries. Host file can have more entries also but Input file enteries must be there in the host file. I am ignoring comments with that regular experssion but need to ignore spaces also.
How would I delete white spaces in a specified file?
Also, I'd like to know what command I would use to take something off a regular expression, and put it onto another.
ie.
.
.
.
expression1 <take_off>
.
.
.
expression2 (put here)
.
.

Any help would be great, thanks! (10 Replies)

logcheck-test -s "RULE"
Test a single rule against ~/log, surround the rule with standard prefix and suffix and append "kernel " to prefix:
logcheck-test -l ~/log -e -P "kernel " "RULE"
Test the rules in rulefiles/linux/ignore.d.server/kernel against ~/log:
logcheck-test -l ~/log -r rulefiles/linux/ignore.d.server/kernel
Test which lines the rules in rulefiles/linux/ignore.d.server/kernel doesn't match:
logcheck-test -l ~/log -r rulefiles/linux/ignore.d.server/kernel -i
EXIT STATUS
