Problem with multilog

Hi,

now i'm using sctips like the one below to start smptd. As you can see
splogger is used and all logs are in the syslog. There is no supervise
directory.

I want to use maillog because i mulst install an analog tool (qmailanalog)

Can someone tell me in which way i can change the script so everything
is logged to /var/log/qmail/smtpd

I tried to change the last line to this:

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 2>&1 |
/usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd qmail-smtpd &

With this line qmail didn't start -> i saw errors on my screen.




init.smtpd:
-----------
#!/bin/sh
PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:$PATH"
export QMAILQUEUE='/var/qmail/bin/qmail-spamc'
tcpserver -H -R -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-u `id -u vpopmail` -g `id -g vpopmail` -K /var/run/qL_smtpd.pid 0 25 \
/usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -r bl.spamcop.net -r relays.ordb.org -r
rbl-plus.mail-abuse.org -r list.dsbl.org -r sbl.spamhaus.org \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 2>&1 |
/var/qmail/bin/splogger qmail-smtpd &


thx

You should consult http://www.lifewithqmail.org. There you will find
the required scripts. You would also have to make sure that you have
the newer ucspi-tcp and daemontools. with the newer tools, there is
such a process as svscan which monitors a directory of services )the
default is /services/) In there you would create a directory for the
service to be monitored such as qmail-smtpd. Within said directory you
would need to create a run file and a log directory with a run file.
When svscan detects that folder, it will execute the run file. It would
then initiate a process for the run file in the log which is the logging
portion of the service. Once you have both instances running you are
all set.
