Feature request: stdout instead of syslog

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hello,

I'm using nntpcache-2.4.0b2 from the FreeBSD ports
collection on FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE.

I'm currently running nntpcached with the "-n"
switch (do not detach from tty) so that I can
control nntpcached using Dan Bernstein's
daemontools package:

   http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html

which will automatically restart nntpcached
if it dies unexpectedly.

It would be nice if nntpcached had a switch (or
perhaps a directive in the configuration file)
which would instruct it to send all messages to
stdout instead of to syslogd.  The reason for
this is that it would permit log messages to
be captured by Dan Bernstein's multilog program
(part of the daemontools package)

   http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html

multilog lets you specify (amongst many other
things) how large a logfile is allowed to grow
and how many old logfiles should be kept when
multilog auto-rotates the logfile.


Thanks!
