socklog-conf(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   socklog-conf(8)

NAME
socklog-conf - sets up a socklog(8) service. SYNOPSIS
socklog-conf unix|inet|klog|ucspi-tcp acct logacct socklog-conf notify acct grp DESCRIPTION
socklog-conf creates /etc/sv if necessary and a subdirectory that runs the unix, inet, ucspi-tcp or notify service (see below for each ser- vice). Except for the notify service, socklog-conf also creates a log directory with subdirectories. acct, logacct and grp must not contain any special characters. UNIX SERVICE
socklog-conf unix acct logacct Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument unix, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-unix and the log directory /var/log/socklog. socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid of acct and to listen for syslog messages on /dev/log. It also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog. The logs are owned by logacct. The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct. You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program: update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-unix INET SERVICE
socklog-conf inet acct logacct Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument inet, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-inet and the log directory /var/log/socklog-inet. socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid of acct and to listen for syslog messages on the UDP socket 0.0.0.0:514. It also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog-inet. The logs are owned by logacct. The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct. You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program: update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-inet KLOG SERVICE
socklog-conf klog acct logacct Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument klog, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-klog and the log directory /var/log/socklog-klog. socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid of acct and to read kernel messages from /proc/kmsg on Linux, or /dev/socklog-klog on BSD. It also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog-klog. The logs are owned by logacct. The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct. You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program: update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-klog UCSPI-TCP SERVICE socklog-conf ucspi-tcp acct logacct Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument ucspi-tcp, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp and the log directory /var/log/socklog-ucspi-tcp. socklog-conf arranges for tcpsvd(1) to run socklog(8) under the uid and gid of acct and to listen on the TCP socket 0.0.0.0:10116. It also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog-ucspi-tcp. The logs are owned by logacct. The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct. You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program: update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp NOTIFY SERVICE
socklog-conf notify acct grp Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument notify, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-notify. socklog-conf arranges for uncat(1) to run under the uid and gid of acct and to listen on the named pipe /var/log/socklog/.notify. The named pipe will have mode 0620, the uid of acct and the gid of grp. All uids running a log service that is configured to push log events to the socklog-notify service must be member of the group grp. You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program: update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-notify SEE ALSO
