SYSLOG.CONF

[unixrookie]

I have my solaris 5.8 box set-up as the syslog server for my cisco routers I have syslog.conf like so:
local7.alert /var/adm/cisco/alert
local7.crit /var/adm/cisco/crit
local7.err /var/adm/cisco/err
local7.warning /var/adm/cisco/warning
local7.notice /var/adm/cisco/notice
local7.info /var/adm/cisco/info
local7.debug /var/adm/cisco/debug

is there a way i can also have local7.err send a mail message to "mcswensen@jer-ms" jer-ms being my mailserver. I can send mail from a regular prompt that i get when i login. I just use the "rmail mcswensen@jer-ms" any help would be great

You would probably want to create a script to perform this function. You could set it up for start up or every 4 hours, etc. At any rate I would pursue this course of action.
