Hi all,

Can someone please tell me, or point me in the right direction ( I have googled, with little luck) on how to get data from /var/logs/messages (and other log files) for a specified fe days (i.e 19 - 30 June 2011) ?

Give this a try:

grep -E '^Jun (19|2[0-9]|30) ' /var/log/messages

And to explain the argument following "-E" see:

man grep
