[Logcheck-devel] tip: how to develop logcheck rules (one way at least)

[martin f krafft]

thought i'd share this in case you didn't already make use of such
a method, it took me quite a while to arrive at it. now if I am
trying to add rules to hide messages that logcheck just sent to me
by mail, I tell mutt to pipe the message to

  egrep -v -f /path/to/logcheck/ignore.d.server/whatever | less

and then inspect the output until it only contains stuff I want to
see.

this makes things *a lot* easier.
