[dovecot] Bug#175509: dovecot: init.d script should add some syslog statements on startup/shutdown (fwd)
[Amelia and Timo. As you are both on the dovecot list, I'm replying there to avoid cluttering up your inboxes.]
This bug was reported to Debian but I feel it should be fixed upstream. Adding logging in th init script itself would require adding additional dependencies to the package and not be as convenient.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Amelia A Lewis amyzing@talsever.com
It would be nice if the init.d script could add some statements in the system log on startup and shutdown. For postfix, postfix-script (called from the init script) uses: starting the Postfix mail system stopping the Postfix mail system
These are useful; one can start the daemon and check that it's initialized (netstat works as well, I suppose, but this is still useful docco).

Yes, I've heard this request before but forgot to add it. I'll add "Dovecot starting up" (or better suggestions?) but I don't think I'll add any specific shutdown message, since either there will be some error message or "Warning: Killed with signal x".
