Dear Sir,
I would like to let you know that you made my day!
See, I have boinc processes running on my machine which, due to
a long standing bug of proper DISPLAY detection to identify user
activity, spams every second my syslog with this message:
Jul 9 23:19:48 fusion boinc[653]: No protocol specified
Jul 9 23:19:49 fusion boinc[653]: No protocol specified
Jul 9 23:19:50 fusion boinc[653]: No protocol specified
Inspired by your intervention I created, in my configuration
tree, a file /etc/rsyslog.d/boinc.conf containing:
:msg, isequal, " No protocol specified" stop
Then restarted the logging service:
# invoke-rc.d rsylog restart
Spam from boinc is no more. :)
Kind Regards,
--
