Hello,
I've been trying to figure out the best way to support legacy applications that don't support syslog for logging. The best we can do, I think, is to use fifo and have another process read the fifo to journald. I made the following unit journald-fifo@.service [Unit] Description=A fifo for logging to journald AssertPathExists=/var/log/%i.fifo [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'while true; do systemd-cat -t %i < /var/log/%i.fifo; done' Nice=5 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target I was wondering is this a good approach? Is there a better way? (of course, we'd like to fix the original software to work better). Finally, if this is a good approach, is this method worth putting into systemd/journald as a standard service? If so, how do I submit a PR or where to begin? Kind regards, Samuel
