But thanks for a good general-duty review of the ways in which this little task is usually accomplished. <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 12/1/2012 2:32 PM, Jonathan Marsden wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:50BA5B5F.30006@fastmail.fm" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On 12/01/2012 11:03 AM, John Hupp wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">The only problem is that I can't seem to find the ./doc subdirectory which it says I *need* to look at.

In this case dpkg -L rsyslog-doc would have shown you where the files were installed to. Also, /usr/share/doc/packagename is a well known location for package-installed documentation and so is a good place to check when seeking information about any installed package. Lastly, if you forget both of those, the old-fashioned way to look for files on your machine is to use locate, and locate rsyslog would have output the location of the documentation concerned, assuming its database was up to date (it usually gets updated nightly).
