lothario Member Registered: Apr 2004 Posts: 340 Rep:	Capture syslog messages from a device on the LAN Got a Ubuntu system. Have a device on my LAN that can send Syslog messages. I would like to: 1. Capture these specific syslog messages. 2. Keep them separate from any other syslog activity on the Ubuntu system. 3. View these syslog messages later. How can I do this?
