logd(8) Archiveopteryx Documentation logd(8)NAMElogd - logging server for Archiveopteryx.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/local/sbin/logd [-f] [-c configfile]
DESCRIPTION
The Archiveopteryx logd is an internal server which receives, buffers
and filters log entries from other parts of Archiveopteryx, so that
useful messages are logged, while noise is suppressed.
Archiveopteryx's log system uses four log levels: Disaster, Error, Info
and Debug. Each program in Archiveopteryx sends its log messages to
logd, which writes them to a logfile.
If a message is logged with severity log-level (set to Info by default)
or greater, it is immediately written to the log file. All messages of
lower severity are discarded.
If logd receives the SIGHUP signal, it closes and reopens its logfile.
After startup, logd changes root to the directory where logfile is
located, and changes uid and gid to jail-user and jail-group.
Therefore, jail-user must have the right to open logfile.
OPTIONS-c filename
Read configuration variables from filename instead of from
/usr/local/etc/archiveopteryx/archiveopteryx.conf.
-f Fork into background during startup.
CONFIGURATIONlogd is configured using archiveopteryx.conf(5).
logd uses the following configuration variables: log-address, log-port,
logfile (default syslog/mail), log-level (default info), jail-user
(default aox), jail-group (default aox).
DIAGNOSTICS
In case of error, smtpd exits with exit code 1, an error message on
stderr and (usually more detailed) information in the log file.
