log format
Hi all. I'm using qmail-1.03, and it's working ok. Yesterday, I change the way to start qmail from tarball/INSTALL docs to LWQ. The problem is that the logs don't says (in human readable format), the date and time of each event. Instead of that, I see lines like @40003b535a1736077d54 tcpserver: ok 7541 0:10.1.1.1:25 :10.1.1.194::2525 How can I configure qmail startup process to log the events date and time like syslog? (Jul 17 12:03:00 host process: blah, blah, blah...) thanks --ejg

About date, to view, pipe it to tai64nlocal.

(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

* 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. 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.
