Bug 230879 – net-mail/courier-imap startup scripts to use courierlogger properly

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mehmet Giritli 2008-07-05 18:13:43 UTC]

For courier-imap >4, it is possible to use courierlogger as the parent process to startup the couriertcpd daemon. In this way, configuration variables ${SSLLOGGEROPTS} and ${LOGGEROPTS} can finally have some use in customizing the logging operations (eg. specifying a log facility).

For this, the files /usr/lib/courier-imap/{gentoo-imapd.rc,gentoo-imapd-ssl.rc,gentoo-pop3d.rc,gentoo-pop3d-ssl.rc} must be modified slightly to get this straight.

For example, /usr/lib/courier-imap/gentoo-imapd-ssl.rc file has the following part in it where the startup takes place:

eval ${PRERUN} ${libexecdir}/couriertcpd \
        -address=${SSLADDRESS} \
        -maxprocs=${MAXDAEMONS} -maxperip=${MAXPERIP} \
        -pid=${SSLPIDFILE} ${TCPDOPTS} ${SSLPORT} \
        ${COURIERTLS} -server -tcpd \
        ${bindir}/imaplogin \
        ${libexecdir}/courier-imapd.indirect "${MAILDIR}"

replacing this part with the following gives us what we want:

eval ${PRERUN} ${libexecdir}/courierlogger \
        ${SSLLOGGEROPTS} \
        -pid=${SSLPIDFILE} \
        -start \
        ${libexecdir}/couriertcpd \
        -address=${SSLADDRESS} \
        -maxprocs=${MAXDAEMONS} -maxperip=${MAXPERIP} \
        ${TCPDOPTS} ${SSLPORT} \
        ${COURIERTLS} -server -tcpd \
        ${bindir}/imaplogin \
        ${libexecdir}/courier-imapd.indirect "${MAILDIR}"

A similar update is necessary for the rest of the three files as well: /usr/lib/courier-imap/{gentoo-imapd.rc,gentoo-pop3d.rc,gentoo-pop3d-ssl.rc}

Reproducible: Always

chutzpah has taken over courier-imap maint.

courier-imap is running under courierlog now (and from sometime)
