There isn't that I am aware of. I actually think I will pull the project out of mothball mode and do some updates. I'll try and look at the 18.06 branch and what can be done 'soon'. I may not make the merge window for the next batch of releases as I believe fork is on about the 12th. In the meantime have you tried installing 'full' flock and logger utilities? That may solve your issue for now.
