[15:25] <mintee> jms says on his site "The multilog program works by reading the output from another program and writing the output to one or more log files."
[15:25] <mintee> does anyone know how to make it write to "more" than one log directory?
[15:26] <greycat> | tee multilog blah blah | tee multilog bleh bleh
[15:26] <greycat> oops, you can lose the second "tee"
[15:26] <mintee> not sure what you mean by tee
[15:26] <mintee> i'm using the typical service-any-log-run
[15:27] <greycat> I don't know what YOU mean by service-any-log-run. tee(1) is a standard Unix command.
[15:27] <mintee> http://qmail.jms1.net/scripts/service-any-log-run
[15:27] <greycat> Also, doesn't multilog actually already HAVE the capability to write to multiple log dirs in a single invocation? Let me check...
[15:27] <mintee> heh, that was my question
[15:27] <greycat> multilog script
[15:27] <greycat> script consists of any number of arguments. [...]
[15:28] <mintee> well lemme try `multilog t n1024 s1048576 ./main ./otherlogdir '-*' '+*ver: status:*' =lstatus`
[15:28] <greycat> hmm, it also says
[15:29] <greycat> Do not attempt to write to one log from two simultaneous multilog
[15:29] <greycat> processes, or two actions in one process.
[15:29] <mintee> damnit
[15:29] <mintee> that's what i was going for
[15:29] <greycat> so just use tee(10
[15:29] <greycat> tee(1) rather
[15:29] <mintee> you seeing this on the crypto page?
[15:29] <greycat> yes, that is the manual.

[15:30] <mintee> icey
[15:31] <mintee> what i'm attempting to do greycat, is to consolidate a single logfile that will contain all the qmail and courier logs in one file
[15:31] <mintee> for easier tailing
[15:36] <greycat> mintee: "Do not attempt to write to one log from two simultaneous multilog processes,"
[15:37] <mintee> thanks, i was having a hard time reading that the first time you pasted it.
