[15:25] jms says on his site "The multilog program works by reading the output from another program and writing the output to one or more log files." [15:25] does anyone know how to make it write to "more" than one log directory? [15:26] | tee multilog blah blah | tee multilog bleh bleh [15:26] oops, you can lose the second "tee" [15:26] not sure what you mean by tee [15:26] i'm using the typical service-any-log-run [15:27] I don't know what YOU mean by service-any-log-run. tee(1) is a standard Unix command. [15:27] http://qmail.jms1.net/scripts/service-any-log-run [15:27] Also, doesn't multilog actually already HAVE the capability to write to multiple log dirs in a single invocation? Let me check... [15:27] heh, that was my question [15:27] multilog script [15:27] script consists of any number of arguments. [...] [15:28] well lemme try `multilog t n1024 s1048576 ./main ./otherlogdir '-*' '+*ver: status:*' =lstatus` [15:28] hmm, it also says [15:29] Do not attempt to write to one log from two simultaneous multilog [15:29] processes, or two actions in one process. [15:29] damnit [15:29] that's what i was going for [15:29] so just use tee(10 [15:29] tee(1) rather [15:29] you seeing this on the crypto page? [15:29] yes, that is the manual. [15:29] http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html [15:30] icey [15:31] what i'm attempting to do greycat, is to consolidate a single logfile that will contain all the qmail and courier logs in one file [15:31] for easier tailing [15:36] mintee: "Do not attempt to write to one log from two simultaneous multilog processes," [15:37] thanks, i was having a hard time reading that the first time you pasted it.
