Log File format

I'm not sure what the problem is.  Here's a snip of my log (very similar 
setup, but from server to remotes):

You can easily track them by pid.  Heck, you can even key on the pid field 
and sort to make it easier to read, if you need.
There's even a "log format" option for the rsyncd.conf, which settles the 
whole question
Headers, Environments, and Macros                  rsyncd.conf(5)

     log format
          The "log format" option allows you to specify the  for-
          mat  used for logging file transfers when transfer log-
          ging is enabled. The format is a text string containing
          embedded  single  character  escape  sequences prefixed
          with a percent (%) character.

          The prefixes that are understood are:

     o    %h for the remote host name

     o    %a for the remote IP address

     o    %l for the length of the file in bytes

Good luck.

        Classification: 

Hello All,

Thanks for maintaining this very usefull program and newsgroup, I hope 
this is not a silly question...

I am currently running an rsync server based on SuSE 7.2 + rsync 2.5.2 in 
daemon mode, and  I have a number of  'Internet appliances' based on 
Redhat 6.1, scattered across the UK running rsync via cron & manually, 
thus rsync'ing may occur at any time. It is initiated by the appliances to 
send data to the server.

However I am having a problem gathering statistics for each connection 
from the rsync daemon log file. I do use an entry in rsyncd.conf to 
specify a log file. The problem I have is that the initial, rsync 
client/server exchange happens with one process ID, rsync (server) then 
appears to fork and produce another process, exchanges between 
server/client occur with this new process.

Now each line in the log file contains a PID, but how can I relate the 
initial 'rsync to' line with its PID, to the corresponding 'wrote' line, 
with it's PID.  Generally the child process has a PID of PPID + 1, but of 
course that can't be guaranteed. I have tried the 'log format' option in 
rsyncd.conf but that does not affect the 'rsync to' or 'wrote XXX.... Read 
XXX ....Total Size XXX' lines written to the log file.

Any advice/patches would be much appreciated.

Regards 

John Hartery
