bernstein has a recommended logging system that can be used in conjuction with netcat and |
| 15 |
multitail ( if you have a centralized log server ). Also most of these daemons can be |
| 16 |
configured to log to stderr or stdout. so a portmap run script may look something like |
| 17 |
#!/bin/sh |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
exec /usr/bin/tcpserver 0 111 /sbin/portmap -d 2>&1 |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
with it's associated log/run script |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
#!/bin/sh |
| 24 |
exec /usr/bin/setuidgid nobody /usr/bin/multilog t s2500000 /var/log/supervise/portmap |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
which bypasses these dependancies. I have found, using daemontools that the system logger |
| 27 |
is only useful for a few broken daemons that can't be configured to log to stdout. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
So this is sort of an important point. If runscripts are included will the logging by |
| 30 |
default be to the stdout or to syslog? |
