Hello,

I have several programs that exclusively log to stderr, awaiting a logging to like DJB's multilog or splogger to catch that output. With qmail, for example, I've been using DJB's daemontools until now, and want to switch to InitNG.

I've seen that InitNG is able to catch such logging output, too, and redirect it to syslog via the syslog plugin. Looking into the code, however, I found that the plugin might be fixed to use the LOCAL1 facility.

Is this correct? I want my qmail logging stuff (of course) to go into the MAIL facility, so LOCAL1 doesn't seem to be the right destination.

The problem with the syslog plugin is that it needs to wait for syslogd
to be able to log something...

I was thinking about writing a logging plugin, I mean one that will take
care of writting the logs itself, and hold them in memory until / is
mounted rw.

If someone wants to write it, you're free to do so ;).
