[Debian-mobcom-maintainers] Bug#1050488: smstools: logcheck rule correction

[Vaclav Ovsik]

Package: smstools
Version: 3.1.21-4+b1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,
I have logcheck in default setup. That is it process rsyslog files and
also process journal too. The journal records are a little difference -
pid number after smsd. This is rule working for me:

  liber:/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server# cat smstools-local 
  ^([[:alpha:]]{3} [ :[:digit:]]{11}|[0-9T:.+-]{32}) [._[:alnum:]-]+ smsd(\[[0-9]+\])?: Writing stats file [0-9]+.[0-9]+$

Modified rule works for rsyslog and journal too:

  liber:/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server# journalctl -b | grep -E -f smstools-local | tail -5

Please change logcheck rule file.
Thank you very much
