2 new options for pimd #90

Closed Kzibi closed 7 years ago

Kzibi commented 7 years ago

I think it will be usefull (e.g. in linux name spaces):

  1. pid file location/name : e.g. pimd --pidfile /var/run/pimd/xxx/pimd.pid
  2. syslog-name in pimd.conf : e.g. syslog-name "pimd iptv1"

btw. I test last 2.4 beta ( 08.02.2017) - it's very fast ;)))

The UNIX way of doing this is to expose an -I, --ident=NAME that can then be used for /etc/NAME.conf, /var/run/NAME.pid, and syslog. That's the first thing. A custom path to the PID file as well, can be added as well.

I've already done this for my Inadyn project, so porting both those features should be a straight forward job.

Fixed in 2cf0f3d for v2.4.

However, note that spaces in the identity string is not allowed.
