I'm trying to pipe varnishncsa's logs through Apache's rotatelogs, and
running from the shell, things work fine:
sudo varnishncsa -a -P /var/run/varnishncsa/varnishncsa.pid
|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/varnish/varnish.log.%Y%m%d%H 3600
creates a new logfile in /var/log/varnish, with rotation every hour (3600
seconds). However, I'm struggling to get things working the same way inside
/etc/init.d/varnishncsa:
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
DAEMON=/usr/bin/$NAME
PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME/$NAME.pid
LOGFILE=/var/log/varnish/varnishncsa.log
USER=varnishlog
DAEMON_OPTS="-a -P ${PIDFILE}"
DAEMON_PIPE="|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/varnish/varnish.log.%Y%m%d%H
3600"
...
start_varnishncsa() {
output=$(/bin/tempfile -s.varnish)
log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC" "$NAME"
create_pid_directory
if start-stop-daemon --start --verbose --pidfile ${PIDFILE} \
--chuid $USER --exec ${DAEMON} -- ${DAEMON_OPTS} \
> ${output} 2>&1; then
log_end_msg 0
else
log_end_msg 1
cat $output
exit 1
fi
rm $output
}
Where should I put DAEMON_PIPE in the above code? I've tried at the end of:
if start-stop-daemon --start --verbose --pidfile ${PIDFILE}
which is where additional command line parameters usually go, but it isn't
creating a logfile.
