I did get log fetch to work with your script, sorta. I added the file in the script to collect and it collects it and posts it to the message column but of course it is not processed for alerts, Just collected.
I added this to the xymonclient-linux.sh that I use for the hosts I use your script for. Hmmm If I get this other log fetch working I might be able to smash your script with this and make that work. Ok better stick to one thing at a time.
echo "[msgs:/var/log/messages]" tail -c 10240 /var/log/messages | egrep -v MARK echo "[msgs:/var/TKLC/log/syscheck/fail_log]" tail -c 10240 /var/TKLC/log/syscheck/fail_log

The author is me. And there have been no updates to support messages, and probably never will. It's too much trouble to re-implement the logfetch utility.
