Well, it sounded like a good idea when I read it, but it looks like in
practice it doesn't work out. I set up some of the more common services
as follows:
--------------------
# main.cf
my_instance_name = postfix-queue1
syslog_name = $my_instance_name
# master.cf
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
-o syslog_name=$my_instance_name
cleanup unix n - n - 0 cleanup
-o syslog_name=$my_instance_name
bounce unix - - n - 0 bounce
-o syslog_name=$my_instance_name
smtp unix - - n - - smtp
-o syslog_name=$my_instance_name
--------------------
Turns out, the macro doesn't get expanded in the process name.
4894 ? S 0:00 smtpd -n smtp -t inet -u -o syslog_name
$my_instance_name
7755 ? S 0:00 cleanup -z -t unix -u -o syslog_name
$my_instance_name
7758 ? S 0:00 smtp -t unix -u -o syslog_name $my_instance_name
8468 ? S 0:00 smtpd -n smtp -t inet -u -o syslog_name
$my_instance_name
8491 ? S 0:00 smtp -t unix -u -o syslog_name $my_instance_name
Hmph. Unless there's a specific option within Postfix to do this, I'm
guessing I'll just have to resort to hard-coding the name in master.cf.
Thanks for the help.
