Ref : Previous mail regarding problem with multilog Logging. Had to use 2>&1 i.e. send std error to Descriptor 1 from where multilog can read. for smtpd & pop3d in run scripts. eg. in /service/qmail-smtpd/run --------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -Ho -x /etc/qmail/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 1012 -g 1012 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 Same for Pop3d. Now smtpd & pop3d are logging correctly. Though i.e. still get that @timestamp instead of human readable format though i have used tai64nlocal (correctly ????) in /service/qmail-smtpd/log/run -------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t !/usr/local/bin/t ai64nlocal /log/qmail/smtpd Thanx & Regards Mustafa M ---------- VeetVision Communications (P) Ltd.
