Synnefo

using a configuration file, whose format is described here:

http://docs.python.org/library/logging.config.html

By default, the log initialization code will look for the logging.conf file

in the following locations in order:

1. /etc/synnefo/logging.conf

2. os.getcwd()/logging.conf

3. synnefo.logic.__path__[0]/logging.conf (<-- this is the default)

The default configuration is using Linux conventions: it logs to /dev/log for

all loggers. The default configuration can be changed by copying the default

file to any of the above mentioned locations and changing it appropriately.

* Logging and demonization: If the logging is configured to print to the console

  (using the consoleHandler handler) then daemon processes (notably, the

  dispatcher) will not work as it should. This only happens after the daemon

  has lost its controlling terminal (e.g. because the terminal was closed);

  in this case the dispatcher does not know where to log to and depending on

  the system it either crashes or stalls. This can be avoided if the logging

  module is not configured to output to the console.
