Thanks Keith,
Instead of using the printf statement (got trouble copying carriage return chars from your example I simply created a file with the lines
*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\ auth,authpriv.none;\ cron,daemon.none;\ mail,news.none -/var/log/messages
using
sudo gedit /etc/rsyslog.d/99-fixlog.conf
Thanks for all your help.
Kind Regards
Mike
