I just went looking for the qmail logs to provide some data for an
issue which has arisen on the qmail list.  According to the startup
files, the data should be logged via multilog in /var/log/qmail.

However, there is no multilog daemon running for qmail (there is one
running for qmail-smtpd) and the log files in /var/log/qmail are from
May 8.

Does anybody know what is going on?  It appears that the machine was
rebooted on April 29.  Could multilog have simply died?

I didn't have anything to do with it, FWIW.

I remember Jeff said something about /var filling up this spring
and he was doing something to have logs scroll automatically.
Maybe he killed it to stop it from filling the drive, or maybe it
just died when it ran out of space.

Restarting qmail/multilog should be safe to do.

Likewise.

I didn't kill it.  The only thing I can think of is maybe it dropped core
or self-halted at some point due to disk space issues.
