splogger(8) System Manager's Manual splogger(8)NAME
splogger - make entries in syslog
SYNOPSIS
splogger [ tag [ fac ] ]
DESCRIPTION
splogger reads a series of messages and feeds them to syslog. At the front of each message it puts tag (default: splogger) and a numerical
timestamp.
splogger checks for alert: or warning: at the beginning of each message. It selects a priority of LOG_ALERT, LOG_WARNING, or LOG_INFO
accordingly.
splogger logs messages with facility fac. fac (default: 2) must be numeric.
splogger converts unprintable characters to question marks.
splogger does not log blank lines.
splogger folds messages after 800 characters, since syslog can't handle long messages. splogger uses a + after the timestamp to mark
folded lines.
Note that the syslog mechanism is inherently unreliable: it does not guarantee that messages will be logged. It is also very slow.

qmail-start(8) System Manager's Manual qmail-start(8)NAME
qmail-start - turn on mail delivery
SYNOPSIS
qmail-start [ defaultdelivery [ logger arg ... ] ]
DESCRIPTION
qmail-start invokes qmail-send, qmail-lspawn, qmail-rspawn, and qmail-clean, under the proper uids and gids. These four daemons cooperate
to deliver messages from the queue.
qmail-start arranges for qmail-send's activity record to be sent to qmail-start's output. See qmail-log(5) for the format of the activity
record. Other than this, qmail-start does not print anything, even on failure.
If defaultdelivery is supplied, qmail-start passes it to qmail-lspawn.
If logger is supplied, qmail-start invokes logger with the given arguments, and feeds qmail-send's activity record through logger.
Environment variables given to qmail-start will eventually be passed on to qmail-local, so make sure to clean up the environment if you run
qmail-start manually:
# env - PATH="/var/lib/qmail/bin:$PATH"
qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger qmail &
(all on one line)
Resource limits, controlling ttys, et al. are also passed from qmail-start to qmail-local.
Note that qmail-send normally juggles several simultaneous deliveries. To reduce qmail-send's impact on other programs, you can run qmail-
start with a low priority.
