Peculiar results with multilog
I just switched my qmail setup (one of them at least) to daemontools, qmail, two tcpservers for smtp, one for qmqp. It works great, execpt for one teensy thing. I have the same run command for all the log files: exec setuidgid qmaill \ multilog t s400 ./logfiles '-*' '+*status:*' =logfiles/status (except for the log size after the t, which I fiddle so each one rotates its logs about equally often.) The logger for qmail puts the status in logfiles/status. The loggers for the tcpservers don't, although they make the main logfiles (current, rotating to @whatever) correctly. It just creates a zero length status file. The status lines logged from tcpserver look like this: @40003aa13cff07eb6d7c tcpserver: status: 2/40 so it sure looks to me like they should be stored in logfiles/status. Any suggestions what's wrong?
