[TIP] how to search old PO logs

[DC <dan.newsletter@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sometimes I need to look at old logs to track down problematic messages.
Here's a tip for making that easy: use curly bracket shell expansion to
access al the filenames for the old PO logs!

(all on one line...)

sudo more /var/spool/post.office/log/post.office-060{4,5,6,7}.log | grep
yoursearchword

the {4,5,6,7} automatically expands in the shell to:

post.office-0604.log
post.office-0605.log
post.office-0606.log
post.office-0607.log

making it easier to look in all your old logs.
