I want to be able to restart the services, take down supervise for that service, etc without having to wait 1 minute for svscan to bring it back up. svscan takes care of starting the two supervise processes and I don't know how you would do this manually. Also, you don't normally restart services by restarting its supervise and you don't have to take down supervise to take down the service; instead, you use svc -t to restart a service (supervise kills it and restarts it instantly) or svc -dt to bring down the service. If e.g. you change the options to multilog, you restart multilog with "svc -t theservice/log" without affecting the service itself or losing log information. The 1 minute delay only occurs when svscan has to restart a supervise, which should _never_ happen. How can I do this without breaking the pipe between the service and the logger? svscan takes care of maintaining the pipe. You just svc at will. Stefan
supervise/svscan/and qmail logging
Hello, I am using the daemontools 0.61, and supervise on qmail, qmail-popup, and qmail-smtpd. Right now, I just start a normal supervise process to watch over those. I wanted to do logging for the qmail-popup and qmail-smtpd daemons, and created an SVC/log dir, set the sticky bit, etc. My question is, do I have to start the two supervise processes (one for SVC, and one for SVC/log) with svscan, or can I do it manually? I want to be able to restart the services, take down supervise for that service, etc without having to wait 1 minute for svscan to bring it back up. How can I do this without breaking the pipe between the service and the logger? Seems like a pain! Robert S.
