I like this. Yes, I know you can do it with shell magic, but this is easier and what I would expect to happen.
I've changed the patch quite a lot: 1) Don't go to large effort to report "never happen" errors from pipe(), just silently handle them in the same way as fork() 2) Don't do any of this when the -d debug flag is in effect, as it's already defined that the script gets stdin, stdout and stderr from the dnsmasq process in that case. 3) Expand the subject-based logging that already exists, DHCP stuff comes from dnsmasq-dhcp, script output comes from dhcp-script. That avoids the wordy preamble to every line otherwise. 4) Pull the copy-to-log code out of the loop wait()ing for processes to die, it makes more sense to iterate until the descriptors close, then reap child processes. 5) Rationalise conditional compilation stuff. There may be more of that in a subsequent commit. 6) Update the man page to reflect new reality (!) Any remaining bugs are mine, but Petr please check that I didn't break things. Cheers, Simon.
