Created attachment 316063 [details] init patch Since 0.8 quassel supports logging to syslog. While there is already a flag for supporting syslog it's still not really possible to use it. I've now tried to improve the init-script, so that we actually can use the syslog feature. My plan was not just to enable syslog logging, but to have the choice to choose between syslog or logfile or both. I had some success, but basically i found a really strange behavior in my updated init script. While quasselcore starts correctly with the right settings, it actually doesn't log anywhere. I couldn't found the reason for that but as soon as i echo the start command into a separate file (which was executable) and start this file (over the init script) it worked. It looks like that: doesn't work: start-stop-daemon --start --user "${QUASSEL_USER}" --background --make-pidfile \ --pidfile "${PID}" \ --exec "${CORE}" -- "${START_CONFIG}" \ ${LISTEN:+--listen="${LISTEN}"} ${PORT:+--port="${PORT}"} \ --configdir="${CONFIGDIR}" does work: echo " start-stop-daemon --start --user "${QUASSEL_USER}" --background --make-pidfile \ --pidfile "${PID}" \ --exec "${CORE}" -- "${START_CONFIG}" \ ${LISTEN:+--listen="${LISTEN}"} ${PORT:+--port="${PORT}"} \ --configdir="${CONFIGDIR}"" > /root/test /root/test Maybe someone finds the problem. :) I'll post my patches for the config file and the init script (the original one, without the echo statement) I also post the init script which actually does work. After all it would be nice to have the syslog feature in the init script :)

Hrm, good idea, but your patch looks quite ... how to say this nicely ... wrong ;) ( and don't mess around in /root. ever) I might have a look at it when I find some time for it - shouldn't be that tricky to do :)
Hehe, yeah, i'm pretty sure my patch isn't perfect at all, especially that part with /root but that was just to show up my (strange) problem. I'm really curious why my init scripts starts quassel but doesn't log to syslog/logfile. It looks like runscript starts quassel differently than bash/sh... Anyway, i'm looking forward for the correct init script :)
