Logcheck devel - Feb 2006 - Bug#351669: logcheck: [manual] the sudo(1) is missing from EXAMPLES

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.35
Severity: minor

Current manual reads:

  EXAMPLES
       logcheck  can  be  invoked  directly  thanks to su(8) or sudo(8), which
       change the user ID:

       logcheck -o -t Check the logfiles without updating the  offset.   Print
       everything to STDOUT

I believe this shuold be formatted as:


  EXAMPLES

       logcheck can be invoked directly thanks to su(8) or sudo(8),
       which change the user ID. The following Checks the logfiles
       without updating the offset and outputs everything to STDOUT.

           sudo -u logcheck logcheck -o -t

I've changed it to read:

logcheck can be invoked directly thanks to su(8) or sudo(8), which  
change the user ID. The following example checks the logfiles without  
updating the offset and outputs everything to STDOUT.

	sudo -u logcheck logcheck -o -t

Thanks,
