pop3d and logging

hi!

i have a problem logging pop3d connections. i set up qmail and pop3d
as described in life-with-qmail. everything works realy fine but the
pop3d logging. my setup is the following:

/service/qmail-pop3d/log/run:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t \
/var/log/qmail/qmail-pop3d

the logdir exists:
# ls -lisa /var/log/qmail/qmail-pop3d
total 1
39246 1 drwxr-xr-x 2 qmaill root 35 Jul 17 12:17 .
35462 1 drwxr-xr-x 6 qmaill root 146 Jul 10 12:09
...

ps says the pop3d and its logging daemon run.

has anybody an idea?

thanks,
rainer

Note that if the logging isn't working, the pop3 service will
eventually block.

What does "qmailctl stat" or "svstat /service/* /service/*/log" say?

OK, so what's in /service/qmail-pop3d/run? What does "ps -ef|grep
readproctitle" say?

# cat /service/qmail-pop3d/run:

/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -l 0 $IPHOST 110

# ps -ef|grep readproctitle
root 739 736 0 Jul07 ? 00:00:00 readproctitle service
errors: .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..........................................
........
root 17560 5031 0 10:18 pts/0 00:00:00 grep readproctitle

unfortunately readproctitle says nothing to me. what does the output
of the ps-command mean?

thanks for your help,

You need the "-v" option to tcpserver to log connections. qmail-pop3d
doesn't do any logging.

It means that supervise hasn't logged any errors from running "run"
scripts.
