Description

The setting in ikiwiki.setup

syslog: 1

makes the output become pushed to syslog - A good idea, that syslog should handle the logging, as we can get rid of the pipe in suggestinos-cronjob.sh have propper rotating of logfiles etc. But where is the log output stored? And weblate-admin should have access to it.

Actually ikiwiki seemed to be very verbose on the stdout, that’s why we started to redirect the stdout/stderr to a logfile in first place. I know ikiwiki sending out mails in November with lines like attached. But intrigeri mentioned, that with verbose mode turned off, there may be (nearly) no logs. But ikiwiki beeing quited, if everything is fine is great too. I was just used trained to see those log messages and look at them.

Maybe have another search for the logs and if you don’t find those close this bug and we’ll reopen, if we miss logs in an error occurs.

okay, no logs to be seen anywhere, so i’ll close the ticket now.
feel free to reopen if/when the need for logging pops up.
