Hello,
I have a box running multiple instances of Postfix on multiple IP
addresses (this is a pre-2.6 installation, so the multiple instances are
handled the old way by defining multiple postfix config directories). I
currently have "syslog_name" set for each instance so I can correlate
the log entries with each instance. However, when individual Postfix
processes are started (smtp, smtpd, pickup, etc), they are not
identified in any way in ps (that I can find) in regards to which
instance they belong to.
So far, the only work-around I've figured out is to add an additional
parameter to the corresponding process in master.conf (something like this:)
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
-o syslog_name=postfix-myname
This allows me to identify the process in ps by seeing the parameters
with which it was launched. However, I have to do this for each process
in master.conf, which clutters things up a bit (it also creates multiple
places to change the name if I need to). Is there a cleaner way to do
this than overriding each processes with a redundant parameter like this?
Thanks.
