[Logcheck-devel] Bug#470997: logcheck: allow running w/o locking

[Frédéric Brière]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.63
Severity: wishlist

When testing a checked-out copy of the rulefiles against an old log copy
and sending the output to stdout, I still have to use sudo because
logcheck insists on creating a lockfile.  It'd be nice to provide an
option to skip that part.
