После обновления с 6.4.2-alt1@1449699952 до 6.5.0-alt1:sisyphus+243938.100.1.1@1578522132 стал игнорироваться /etc/multitail.conf. Трассировка показывает: =8<===================================================================== #strace -e trace=%file multitail /var/log/message openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/local/etc/multitail.conf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (Нет такого файла или каталога) openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/root/.multitailrc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (Нет такого файла или каталога) stat("/var/log/messages", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0640, st_size=115714, ...}) = 0 stat("/var/spool/mail/root", 0x4451a0) = -1 ENOENT (Нет такого файла или каталога) Could not determine size of file '/var/spool/mail/root' (which is supposed to be your mailfile): mail-check is disabled. You can prevent this message by adding the line 'check_mail:0' in /usr/local/etc/multitail.conf or in .multitailrc in your home-directory. Press enter to continue... =8<===================================================================== Ручное указание --config /etc/multitail.conf помогает (check_mail выключается).
