Hi *,
    I have recently uploaded the latest release of Chklogs
    (v1.9) which fixes the (few) reported problems, you
    must upgrade. If you haven't tried it yet (chklogs) this
    is the time.

    The LSM entry is attached below. For more information
    about Chklogs see the informational page:

	    www.iaehv.nl/users/grimaldo/info/

    Via the `chklogs' link you can view the main document
    (revised for new release), the online manual pages and
    online release notes.

    I is already placed at Sunsite (ok), Funet (may take
    some time) and of course the primary site. In case of
    re-builds of the current release you will find them
    in the primary site *only*.

    There is a GUI (xchklogs) too, no home page for that
	yet but the package is available at the same sites.

Title:          chklogs:  Check System Logs
Version:        1.9
Entered-date:   17MAR97
Description:    A Perl script (can be cron'ed) for maintenance of system
		logs. It checks your list of system logs against maximum
	 	allowed sizes specified by you. If a log has grown past its
		limit it can truncate them to zero size , archive them or
		alternatively execute a program of your choice (plug-out).
		Either of these actions can be specified per log. When
		archiving shuffling is performed (remove oldest archive)
		when the maximum nr. of archives has been reached. This
		maximum nr. is also specified on a per log basis. Report
		can be produced on stdout or sent by mail to admin user.
		It can also just check without taking any further action
		besides reporting.
		Additionally it supports age-based thresholds instead of
		size. Supports global and local repositories, syslog control,
		logical groups and other features. Graphical User Interface
		distributed separately (xchklogs).
