For what it's worth, I'd be very interested in this as well. For Annvix, we use runit, which is similar to daemontools, and exim is also run supervised and also writes it's own logfiles. I poked at the source once to see if there was a quick hack I could do but I'm not the greatest at C so exim, along with a few other daemons (like apache and samba) still writes it's own logfiles although I'd love to have it write to stdout/stderr. However, one consideration (which I still need to try myself) is to use socklog as a replacement for syslog and have exim log to syslog instead of writing it's own logfile (which I'm assuming it can do, although I haven't checked). socklog basically replaces syslog and you can log as many (or as little) facilities as you want in any way you want, using svlogd (or, in your case, multilog). The main reason I haven't yet pursued this myself is that I use eximstats to generate statstics on the mail, but on a daily basis. Quite frankly, if exim can log both to a file and to syslog, then I can make socklog handle the "keepable" logs and keep a single "today" log written by exim itself for the sole purpose of tracking stats. Anyways, some ideas to think about. -- Annvix - Secure Linux Server: http://annvix.org/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FEE30AD4 : 7F6C A60C 06C2 4811 FA1C A2BC 2EBC 5E32 FEE3 0AD4} Wasting time like it was free...
