           What command can I use to get all the lines in
        /var/log/messages
           that have messages on "bluetoothd" copied into a file called
           "mess" in /home/user/mess  ??


        grep bluetoothd /var/log/messages > /home/user/mess/mess

        assuming you have the rights to read messages and write to mess.

        T

    Craig, Thomas thanks for your help.

Can also be done using awk ;)

awk '{ if ($5 ~ /bluetoothd/) print}' /var/log/messages > /home/user/mess/mess
