[Logcheck-devel] Bug#735287: logcheck: invent conditional logging

[Arne Wichmann]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.3.15
Severity: wishlist

Hi...

There is one thing I would like to have in logcheck for quite a long time
already:

Invent a mechanism by which a pattern is only mailed (or not mailed) if
another pattern was seen a given time before it (or also possibly after
it).

For example I would like to make reboots invisible on some machines, but I
do want to see it if the sshd terminates as long as the machine is not
rebooting.
