Citeren Daniel O'Connor <[email protected]>:
It *should* background if it isn't logging to stdout, so if it isn't,
we might have a bug here. I'm not to keen on open/close for each line
we log, for exactly the reason you mention here.
Can you elaborate?
Sure.
I don't see any disadvantage to doing an open/close for each line. The
extra syscall load would be trivial.
This is probably true if you're logging to a file on a local hard
disk, but I'm not so sure about *all* possible systems/devices people
may be logging to. So therefor, unless there is a compelling reason to
open/close the logfile for each line, I'd rather keep the behavior as
it is.
I think sending upslog a SIGHUP to make it reopen the logs after
rotating is too much of a burden anyhow and certainly not worth the
risk of breaking existing installations that may rely on upslog
keeping the logfile open.
Best regards, Arjen
