parse /etc/syslog.conf file

[catalint]

Hello there,

Guys I've got an issue and I need a hint...I have to create a sh script which parse /etc/syslog.conf file (under solaris) and need to get all path accordingly to all logs configured in there.

If anybody knows more about this please let me know. Thanks .

Is the file from Solaris to be parsed in Linux or a Linux file to be parsed in Solaris? Just to make it clear what tools are available and what paths that may be encountered since they aren't exactly the same.

Easiest way to get the paths is to extract the last field from any line that's not empty or a comment:

awk '/^ *$/ {next}
/^#/ {next}
{print $NF}' /etc/syslog.conf
