On Darwin clients logfetch.status never get updated (shows 0 bytes) and thus alert messages never get expired:

What does an "ls -l /var/log/system.log" say ?

The info here claims that file is 3 bytes long.

zelda:/soft/pub/BB/hobbit/client/logs bb$ wc /var/log/system.log
    349    2847   47437 /var/log/system.log


But the "wc" output here says it's 47.437 bytes long.
