Hi.
I’m one of the contributors to OpenWRT.
I was trying to map out a migration strategy from rsyslog to syslog-ng, but one
thing I wasn’t able to figure out was how to get crond logging to go to syslog
and not a file or be spilled out on the console.
We’re building 1.24.2.
I’ve enabled crond, but as I said it spills logging to /dev/console (even
though -S, send logging to syslog, is supposed to be the default).
Looking at the running process, I see:
# lsof -p 2317
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
crond 2317 root cwd DIR 0,14 27 2658 /etc/crontabs
crond 2317 root rtd DIR 0,14 0 11 /
crond 2317 root txt REG 31,0 365147 1604 /bin/busybox
crond 2317 root mem REG 31,0 68696 837 /lib/libgcc_s.so.
1
crond 2317 root mem REG 31,0 427153 810 /lib/libc.so
crond 2317 root mem REG 0,13 4 3520 /tmp/TZ
crond 2317 root 0r CHR 1,3 0t0 2233 /dev/null
crond 2317 root 1w CHR 1,3 0t0 2233 /dev/null
crond 2317 root 2w CHR 1,3 0t0 2233 /dev/null
crond 2317 root 3u unix 0xffff88040d3a8e00 0t0 1463 type=DGRAM
crond 2317 root 9r FIFO 0,8 0t0 2657 pipe
#
not sure what the DGRAM socket corresponds to… On Linux /dev/log is normally
implemented as a SOCK_STREAM socket, so I suspect it’s not that.
It was started as:
/usr/sbin/crond -f -c /etc/crontabs -l 5
via a startup script which leverages procd. What am I missing? Oh, hang on…
if (!(opts & OPT_d) && G.log_filename == NULL) {
/* logging to syslog */
openlog(applet_name, LOG_CONS | LOG_PID, LOG_CRON);
logmode = LOGMODE_SYSLOG;
}
Why would LOG_CONS be selected unconditionally? Shouldn’t that only be
selected if (opts & OPT_f) ? i.e.
openlog(applet_name, ((opts & OPT_f) ? LOG_CONS : 0) | LOG_PID,
LOG_CRON);
Thanks,
-Philip
