preventing annoying messages from hogging /var/adm/messages

in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered

I have seen this suggestion for preventing certain messages from ending up in the message log


:msg, contains, "informational"  ~

https://serverfault.com/questions/15106/is-there-a-way-to-filter-syslog-entries

But that does not seem the Solaris way...

my message belongs to the [ mail.info ] "group, but I don't want to send all [ mail.info ] to /dev/null, only this particular one.


Any ideas?

TIA

Herbie
