I don't like fetchmail (6.3.26-14.1) logging to an extra logfile without giving the date & time. Setting syslog in fetchmailrc is not the successfull way to get fetchmail log to syslog, it only produces this message: "fetchmail[3045]: syslog and logfile options are both set, ignoring syslog, and logging to /var/ log/fetchmail".
Probably it is caused by systemd-fetchmail-exec in /usr/lib because of the option "-L /var/log/fechtmail". Commenting it out makes fetchmail logging to syslog which can be read by "journalctl -u fetchmail.service".
Because I am DAU (with some experience) I wonder whether next update will overwrite my setting. And, of course, it may be big nonsense what I am doing. Any hints?
I don't run fetchmail as a system service but as a user, only one user on my system/server, and do not use systemd to control it but start the daemon via ~.bashrc. I do get "Mon May 8 16:04:06 EDT 2017" lines in the log where I direct it in ~/.fetchmailrc set logfile "/home/paka/.fetchmail/fetchmail.log" set daemon XXX set postmaster XXX set no bouncemail set no spambounce fetchmail-6.3.26-18.1.x86_64 -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
