Package: util-linux Version: 2.26.2-6 Severity: wishlist I've got a long-running thing, something like this, in shell:
( (foo | bar) 2>&1 | logger -t blah ) & Now, while this is running, I can send one of the foo or bar programs a signal to dump statistics, and this is written to syslog by logger(1). So far, so well. Unfortunately, recently inetutils-syslogd was updated (and thus restarted), and ever since, the messages have ceased. Looking at /proc/*/fd/ the connection is open only one-sided. I wish for logger to either restart the connection by itself or offer something like SIGUSR1 to do so, for such scenarios. The alternative, in shell, would be… ( (foo | bar) 2>&1 | while IFS= read -r; do logger -t blah "$REPLY"; done ) & … which would be a true waste of CPU time (and pid space), as logger otherwise fully implements this itself. Hence, I set the priority to “wishlist”.
