The ability to log directly to
/dev/kmsg
was removed in Ubuntu 14.04, making the existing example config fail to perform any real logging. Appending a pipe to the lastexec
within thescript
block gives upstart an incorrect PID to work with, which can lead to various issues.This uses a FIFO solution that logs to syslog at any permission level and doesn't leave anything on the file system afterwards.
