[Logcheck-devel] Bug#270208: logcheck: Same subject for all mails

[Michel Verdier]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.25
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


I prefer to read mails in a thread so I patched logcheck to always
have the same subject :

*** /usr/sbin/logcheck.orig Sat Aug 14 04:56:24 2004
--- /usr/sbin/logcheck  Fri Aug 27 19:26:33 2004
***************
*** 253,258 ****
--- 253,261 ----
      if [ $ADDTAG = "yes" ]; then
          subject="[logcheck] $subject"
      fi
+     if [ "x$SUBJECT" != "x" ]; then
+         subject="$SUBJECT"
+     fi
  
      if [ $MAILOUT -eq 1 ]; then
        debug "Sending report to STDOUT"

In /etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf I added :

SUBJECT="[logcheck] `hostname`"
