--- Begin Message ---Package: acct Version: 6.3.5-38.1 Severity: normal Tags: patch In /etc/init.d/acct logger is used to log directly to /var/log/daemon.log, however there's a chance that the log file doesn't exist and the log record goes lost. I'm using metalog, so i log daemon facilities to /var/log/daemon/ dir, someone else could simply log to another file. I think is a better way to instruct logger to log via syslog, so that you can also log to different files, depending on your syslog configuration. As acct is started after syslog, i think it can be achieved without problems. Here is a simple patch to do that, priority err seems adeguate to me. --- /etc/init.d/acct 2003-09-06 11:57:08.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/init.d/acct.orig 2003-09-06 11:56:46.000000000 +0200 @@ -70,7 +70,7 @@ echo "failed" echo "Process accounting already running on this system." else - logger -p daemon.err \ + logger -f /var/log/daemon.log \ "Unexpected error code $rv received in /etc/init.d/acct" fi set -e @@ -123,7 +123,7 @@ echo " failed" echo "Process accounting already running on this system." else - logger -p daemon.err \ + logger -f /var/log/daemon.log \ "Unexpected error code $rv received in /etc/init.d/acct" fi set -e Thanks, Gian Piero. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux king 2.4.20 #1 ven mag 23 19:17:10 CEST 2003 i686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Versions of packages acct depends on: ii debconf 1.3.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- debconf information: acct/kernel_mismatch: false
