[smokeping-users] Logging when using --nodaemon

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

Since smokeping must always run (and the init.d script utterly failed
to start smokeping on reboot), I'm letting smokeping run supervised.

Neat! It works. Yay!

But (you could have guessed the "But", couln't you?): Now smokeping
doesn't log to the log anymore -- but it also doesn't log to
standard-out.

When started with "/usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/smokeping --nodaemon"
I get no logs at all, where I used to get AT LEAST:

May 25 09:12:51 watchmen smokeping[2021]: Launched successfully 
May 25 09:12:51 watchmen smokeping[2021]: EchoPingHttp: probing 5 targets 
May 25 09:12:51 watchmen smokeping[2021]: FPing: probing 79 targets 
May 25 09:12:51 watchmen smokeping[2021]: EchoPingSmtp: probing 0 targets 
May 25 09:12:51 watchmen smokeping[2021]: DNS: probing 4 targets 

Neither on stdout, nor in /var/log/smokeping.log

# specify this to get syslog logging
syslogfacility = local0

and in syslog.conf:
local0.*                -/var/log/smokeping.log
