Re: Tricks for more levels than s + s/log with svscan.

Greetings Søren,

 : I have a program and its logger which I am running under daemontools.
 : 
 : Now, I need a 3rd program to parse the log before sending it to the 
 : log-rotate mechanism, so I would have something like:
 : 
 : program1
 :   `-  logger1
 :         `- logger2
 : 
 : Is this possible with daemontools somehow?  I tried putting a s/log/log 
 : but after reading the documentation, obviosly that wasnt the way to go.  
 : I would like to keep the logic that if one of my programs dies, then it 
 : should not affect the others (as it is with program + logger).

As Charles Cazabon has indicated, you can use a processor to perform more 
manipulations of the log.  Here's a simple example:

run file:

    exec multilog t !./processor ./data/

data/processor file:

    exec sed -e 's| cat | dog |g'

Just make sure that your processor is as bulletproof as possible.  You 
don't want it failing.
