Topic: stmpfront-qmail output to screen

[John Edelman]

How can I control the output of smtpfront-qmail so that it doesn't output to the console-screen?

It use to output to a log file and was quiet, but now it dumps everything to the main screen and it looks terrible.

If someone can point me in the right direction, as where to look that would be great!

Maybe something in syslog?

Sounds like your multilog process isn't running. What release is this on?

What is the output of the following?

svstat /service/smtpfront-qmail
svstat /service/smtpfront-qmail/log

Hi Mike,

This is release SME 5.6.

Thanks for your reply.  This is the output:

/service/smtpfront-qmail: up (pid 5388) 2202 seconds, normally down
/service/smtpfront-qmail/log: supervise not running

It looks like the log isn't running and that's why it's dumping to my screen.  I'll dig around the supervise and see if something has changed.

Is there a command I can use to try debug supervise and see why it won't run?

Hmm.... this is interesting

The directory permissions on "/var/service/smtpfront-qmail" is"drwxr-xr-x".  I changed it to "drwxr-xr-t", rebooted and guess what?

It fixed it.  Thanks for the "svstat" command Mike!  That really helped me nail down this little problem.

I ran into this same problem... the permissions on "/var/service/smtpfront-qmail" were also "drwxr-xr-x"  This just all of a sudden happened... Anyone have any clue as to what caused this?
