daemontools is a collection of tools byD.J. Bernstein for managing UNIX services. It monitorsqmail services and saves error messages to one or more logs.

Themultilog program has been modified to work both with timestamps and human readable datetimes (commit)

• the actiont inserts an @, a precise timestamp, and a space in front of each line, using the same format astai64n.

Example:

multilog t '-*' '+* fatal: *' ./main

prints the line

@400000003b4a39c23294b13c fatal: out of memory

• the actiond inserts a human readable datetime in front of each line.

Example:

multilog d '-*' '+* fatal: *' ./main

prints the line

2024-07-29 10:36:08.811661123 fatal: out of memory

Both flags are required to be the first action.
