# this command is used to send mail to the administrators of a
# remote machine for monitoring/security purposes.  It was
# written with the intent that it would run nightly as a cron
# job.  Here is the line I added to my crontab:
# 
# 30 1 * * * /usr/local/sbin/syslogmailer

#set umask
umask 022

# log files
LOG=/var/log/syslog
HOSTNAME=`hostname`

# find the size of the log file (in blocks)
if [ -f $LOG ]
then
	MONTH=`/usr/bin/date | cut -f2 -d" "`
        XDAY=`/usr/bin/date +%d`
        DAY=`echo "$XDAY-1" | bc`
        DATE="$MONTH $DAY"
        grep "$DATE" $LOG | Mail -s "syslog for $DATE" admin
