Hello,
Sorry for the resend, but I didn't see the original come through, and I can't
seem to get to the list archives to confirm if it did.
"Firefox can't find the server at skarnet.org."
I've moved an app from logging via multilog to using svlogd. I'm
noticing that in the output, there are no longer any blank lines, used
to break up sections of the logs and keep the more readable.
Is this design intent?
Thanks,
Mike

Sorry about that. Some router at my ISP has been having reliability
problems for a few days. If it happens again, I shall investigate.
The list archives are kept on the same machine as the mailing list
manager, so if the mail doesn't come through, there's a good
probability you won't be able to access the archives either. ;)

I also think it should just log whatever it's given. If admin dislike
empty lines in logs he should be able to filter them using ./config .

Personally, I'd prefer to log \n's. They can be used to space out sections of
logs, increasing readability. A logger tool like this should just log whatever
it's given. Let the app determine what's worthy of logging.

Correct, svlogd doesn't log lines with just '\n'; not necessarily by
design. I'm unsure currently whether to document it or change it in
svlogd.
