Here's a bloody foolish-feeling thing.

I have logsentry. I like it! But I'd really rather receive its messages in a daily digest. If I was running a proper network, the hourlies would be fine, but as it is (a home server) getting 24 email messages a day causes me to shunt them into the digital wastebin.

It seems like this would be cronned, but root has a nicely empty crontab. Where is logsentry?

(a second thing--almost all the messages logsentry sends me are about Courier waiting, shutting down, imap login/out, etc, and generally courierd spouting foul messages at me that mean nothing nasty happening at all. Should I just put a host of lines in my logcheck.violations.ignore? Anyone have ready-made "ignore courier whining" lines?)

Thanks,
-->VPutz

/etc/cron.hourly/logsentry.cron
