Sure, something like:<br>
<br>
/patch/to/newlogcheck.sh /var/log/hosts/robot/`date '+%d%m20%y'`/messages<br>
<br>
</div>Most people still keep logs someplace like /var/log/messages so
that things like logcheck and just some random person wanting to check
for errors can still find the logs, then just rotate/delete them every
day and store the /var/log/HOSTS stuff according to some longer
retention policy. Seems easier in the long run.<br><div><br>
