💖 dlt-system — the DLT system logging process, bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk, dlt-system(1) lives in your General Commands Manual, and it's basically the main character of DLT system logging. she's the central app and she keeps receipts on everything the platform is doing. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dlt-system [-h] [-d] [-c filename]

#DESCRIPTION
not me pointing out that #DESCRIPTION really is sitting there in the synopsis, exactly like that 💀 it's in the original, so it's staying, no cap

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The DLT system logging process is the central application, and what she does is log system information from the platform. that's the whole vibe. ✨

she comes with four features:

  • filetransfer
  • syslog adapter
  • logging of any kind of files
  • procfilesystem logger

and here's the slay part — each one of those features can be enabled and disabled in the configuration file. so you're in control, bestie 💅

by default, dlt-system loads the configuration file /etc/dlt-system.conf.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h — display a short help text. tiny, quick, iconic. when you just need a lil hint 🙈
  • -d — daemonize. this one is needed in System V init systems. periodt. 👑
  • -c — load an alternative configuration file. by default the configuration file /etc/dlt.conf is loaded. (yes, this is a different default path from the one up in DESCRIPTION — -c's default is /etc/dlt.conf, and that's exactly what the page says, so I'm not touching it, iykyk 🍓)

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

start DLT system with a custom configuration:

dlt-system -c ~/my-configuration.cfg

custom config, main character energy, we love to see it 💜

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

non zero is returned in case of failure. so like, 0 = we good, anything else = something said "no" 😭
