Hello list,

I run a process which writes data through multilog. Each 5 minutes, I
need to process the collected data and start with a new "current"
sending an ALARM signal to the multilog process. This will certainly
work:

command ./main/current
svc -a ./

But what if data is written to ./main/current while "command" is
running? What happens to data written to multilog if I stop the
multilog process using the -d and -u option?:

svc -d ./
command ./main/current
svc -u ./
svc -a ./

R.
