socklog-check(8) System Manager's Manual socklog-check(8) NAME socklog-check - checks for the availability of a socklog(8) service. SYNOPSIS socklog-check [-v] [unix [address]] DESCRIPTION socklog-check attempts to connect to a socklog(8) unix service and reports whether the connection attempt succeeded or not. It connects to the datagram oriented unix domain socket address, and re- ports success through the return code. If address is not specified, sock- log-check attempts to connect to /dev/log. When running services that use the syslog facility under runit's service supervision, socklog-check should be added to the top of the service's run script to ensure that no syslog messages are generated until a syslog ser- vice is up and running to process the messages, e.g.: #!/bin/sh socklog-check || exit 1 exec service_using_syslog OPTIONS -v verbose. Print verbose message to standard error. EXIT CODES On success socklog-check returns 0. On error, socklog-check prints a message to standard error and exits 111.
