Searching in log files

Hi,

maybe the question is asked before but I will asked again.

In v6 I could search through all the log files at once. In v7 I have to know more about the context and I can specify only one log file for search.

Will this option come back with one of the next updates?

So long, Steffen

Not sure, but meanwhile,
cd /var/log
grep -i 'searchstring' *.log

If you're talking about an historic event and know which particlar type of log file and the month, then...

cd /var/log/http/2009/04 (for example)
zgrep -i 'searchstring' *.gz
