POSTLOGD(8) POSTLOGD(8)
<b>NAME</b>
postlogd - Postfix internal log server
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<b>postlogd</b> [generic Postfix daemon options]
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
This program logs events on behalf of Postfix programs when the maillog
configuration parameter specifies a non-empty value.
<b>BUGS</b>
Non-daemon Postfix programs don't know that they should log to the
internal logging service before they have processed command-line
options and <a href="postconf.5.html">main.cf</a> parameters. These programs still log earlier events
to the syslog service.
If Postfix is down, the non-daemon programs <a href="postfix.1.html"><b>postfix</b>(1)</a>, <a href="postsuper.1.html"><b>postsuper</b>(1)</a>,
<a href="postmulti.1.html"><b>postmulti</b>(1)</a>, and <a href="postlog.1.html"><b>postlog</b>(1)</a>, will log directly to <b>$<a href="postconf.5.html#maillog_file">maillog_file</a></b>. These
programs expect to run with root privileges, for example during Postfix
start-up, reload, or shutdown.
Other non-daemon Postfix programs will never write directly to <b>$<a href="postconf.5.html#maillog_file">mail</a>-</b>
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#maillog_file">log_file</a></b> (also, logging to stdout would interfere with the operation of
some of these programs). These programs can log to <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a> if they
are run by the super-user, or if their executable file has set-gid per-
mission. Do not set this permission on programs other than <a href="postdrop.1.html"><b>postdrop</b>(1)</a>
and <a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a>.
<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b>
Changes to <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> are picked up automatically, as <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a> pro-
cesses run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command "<b>postfix</b>
<b>reload</b>" to speed up a change.
The text below provides only a parameter summary. See <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>postconf</b>(5)</a> for
more details including examples.
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#config_directory">config_directory</a> (see 'postconf -d' output)</b>
The default location of the Postfix <a href="postconf.5.html">main.cf</a> and <a href="master.5.html">master.cf</a> con-
figuration files.
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#maillog_file">maillog_file</a> (empty)</b>
The name of an optional logfile that is written by the Postfix
<a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a> service.
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#process_id">process_id</a> (read-only)</b>
The process ID of a Postfix command or daemon process.
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#process_name">process_name</a> (read-only)</b>
The process name of a Postfix command or daemon process.
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#syslog_name">syslog_name</a> (see 'postconf -d' output)</b>
A prefix that is prepended to the process name in syslog
records, so that, for example, "smtpd" becomes "prefix/smtpd".
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#service_name">service_name</a> (read-only)</b>
The <a href="master.5.html">master.cf</a> service name of a Postfix daemon process.
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#postlogd_watchdog_timeout">postlogd_watchdog_timeout</a> (10s)</b>
How much time a <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a> process may take to process a
request before it is terminated by a built-in watchdog timer.
