NAME
       implogd - IMP logger process

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/implogd [ -d ]

DESCRIPTION
       _I_m_p_l_o_g_d is program which logs error messages from the IMP, placing them
       in the file _/_u_s_r_/_a_d_m_/_i_m_p_l_o_g.

       Entries in the file are variable length.  Each log entry  has  a  fixed
       length header of the form:

       struct sockstamp {
            short     sin_family;
            u_short   sin_port;
            struct    in_addr sin_addr;
            time_t    sin_time;
            int  sin_len;
       };

       followed,  possibly,  by  the message received from the IMP.  Each time
       the logging process is started up it places a time stamp entry  in  the
       file (a header with _s_i_n__l_e_n field set to 0).

       The  logging  process  will catch only those message from the IMP which
       are not processed by a protocol module, e.g. IP.  This implies the  log
       should  contain only status information such as ‘‘IMP going down’’ mes‐
       sages, ‘‘host down’’ and other error messages, and, perhaps, stray  NCP
       messages.
