[Logcheck-users] Runit

[Tobia Conforto]

Hello

Does anybody have any advice, or even some ready-made configuration, for running logcheck on svlogd log files? svlogd is the logging daemon provided by runit, a replacement for sysv init with service supervision.

svlogd, and thus runit, are incompatibile with vanilla logcheck, because svlogd logfiles are rotated when they reach a certain size, not at a certain time. Therefore when logcheck is run by cron, it may find that any number of rotations happened since its last run, and it should read both the current logfile and the relevant rotated logs.

Has anybody worked on this yet?
