Re: log format
log to syslog, using "logger" edit your /service/qmail-*/log/run file my file looks like this /service/qmail-smtpd/log/run #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/bin/logger -t qsmtpd -p mail.info yes, i know logger isn't reliable and so on, but iam not hosting anything important, sending and receiving only my mail.. splogger does add a timestamp before the normal log line, which i think isnt very useful because syslogd also adds a human readable timestamp..

(Jul 17 12:03:00 host process: blah, blah, blah...) As others have pointed out, you should use tai64nlocal from the daemontools package to convert these timestamps. If you use GNU less for viewing logs, see http://www.orakel.ntnu.no/~kjetilod/tips/ for instructions on how to do this conversion automatically. -- Kjetil

I have added a paragraph for Red Hat users. If anyone has information about lesspipe on other platforms, email me and I'll add them. -- Kjetil
Re: log format
I've tried this several different times on my RH machine but it never worked. Checked paths, perms, etc. No luck. Well, I just got it working!! I had to remove the \@ from the \@*.s line and it works like a charm. I'm guessing it's a shell thing? - Gary Kjetil Ødegaard wrote: > > * pop corn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > > http://www.orakel.ntnu.no/~kjetilod/tips/ > > > > Terrific tip! this is how I got it to work on Redhat 7.0: > > > > # pwd > > /usr/bin > > # diff lesspipe.sh lesspipe.sh.orig > > < \@*.s) tai64nlocal < "$1" ;; > > < # http://www.orakel.ntnu.no/~kjetilod/tips/ > > # export LESSOPEN="|/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s" > > You should probably save your modified lesspipe.sh in ~/bin; otherwise > it might be lost in an upgrade. > > I have added a paragraph for Red Hat users.

Re: log format
That's a good point. I also put the info in a separate install doc that I maintain for myself. I should add that I had to add another entry to make it work for the "current" file: current) tai64nlocal < "$1" ;; >From: Kjetil Ødegaard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: log format >Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2001 19:35:22 +0200 > >* pop corn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > > http://www.orakel.ntnu.no/~kjetilod/tips/ > > > > Terrific tip! this is how I got it to work on Redhat 7.0: > > > > # pwd > > /usr/bin > > # diff lesspipe.sh lesspipe.sh.orig > > < \@*.s) tai64nlocal < "$1" ;; > > < # http://www.orakel.ntnu.no/~kjetilod/tips/ > > # export LESSOPEN="|/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s" > >You should probably save your modified lesspipe.sh in ~/bin; otherwise >it might be lost in an upgrade. > >I have added a paragraph for Red Hat users.
