Hi Eric B.
I'll give You my init.d/dovecot ! (rel 1.2.10) the logging is done by
dovecot (set log path in dovecot.conf)
Remember to make changes according to Your paths in the init file

I had a little difficulty with keeping dovecot up at first. It's very
sensitive to time, and I'm running VMs. I think I got the time
situation under control, but I keep this script running as a cron job
every minute just in case:
[root@tacs-mail ~]# cat /usr/local/bin/monitor_dovecot
#!/bin/sh
# check if dovecot's running, and start it if it's not

As you can see, I'm not using supervise for dovecot. I'm not sure
there's really a good reason to do so. (when in Rome...)
Eric,
So, you create the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot, add it as a service
using 'chkconfig --add dovecot' and start it at boot-time using
'chkconfig dovecot on' ?
If so, what does you /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot file look like? And, as a
consequence, I suppose, I would remove /var/qmail/supervise/dovecot/run
How do you implement the logging mechanism, through qmailctl and
/var/qmail/supervise/dovecot/log/run ?
Eric B.
