No, this is not a re-hash of the old debate. I've seen the archives.
:)
But, according to DJB's (and others') suggestions I'm trying to hook awk
up to the recordio + qmail-smtpd output and log it to syslog (via
splogger).
This seems to me like it should be easy. However, as soon as I add the
additional pipe to awk, I no longer get _anything_ logged to syslog.
Before:
/usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 4000000 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x
/usr/local/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -t 15 -u 71 -g 1013 0 25
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
After:
/usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 4000000 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x
/usr/local/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -t 15 -u 71 -g 1013 127.0.0.1 25 recordio
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /usr/bin/gawk '{if ($2 != "<") print}'
| /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
Is there something wrong with the pipes I've set up? If I take out the
"awk..." part and replace it with "cat" then everything works as
expected (iow, I get _all_ the smtp output).
What is the problem with swapping in awk like this?
Please copy me on any responses (I'm not subscribed currently). Thanks.
