W3C like format logging

Fri May 27 10:43:50 CEST 2016

Thank you Per. I've tried various combinations, such ash:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/varnishncsa -a -w /var/log/varnish/varnishncsa.log -F
"%h"

ExecStart=/usr/bin/varnishncsa -a -w /var/log/varnish/varnishncsa.log -F
'%h'

ExecStart=/usr/bin/varnishncsa -a -w /var/log/varnish/varnishncsa.log -F %h

In all cases, the error is:

May 27 08:37:28 CACHE-SRV systemd[1]: varnishncsa.service: Failed to run
'start' task: Operation not supported
May 27 08:37:28 CACHE-SRV systemd[1]: Failed to start Varnish HTTP

For completion, here's the full /etc/init.d/varnishncsa file:

        exit 1
        ;;

--------------------------------------------

Even tried to change DAEMON_OPTS directly in /etc/init.d/varnishncsa to:

DAEMON_OPTS="-a -w ${LOGFILE} -D -P ${PIDFILE} -F '%h'"

or

DAEMON_OPTS="-a -w ${LOGFILE} -D -P ${PIDFILE} -F \"%h\""

but the log file format would not change.

Imagination is more important than knowledge
*Albert Einstein*

The three chief virtues of a programmer are: Laziness, Impatience and Hubris
*Larry Wall*

Men are basically smart or dumb and lazy or ambitious. The dumb and
ambitious ones are dangerous and I get rid of them. The dumb and lazy ones
I give mundane duties. The smart ambitious ones I put on my staff. The
smart and lazy ones I make my commanders
*Erwin Rommel*

The best programmers are not marginally better than merely good ones.  They
are an order-of-magnitude better, measured by whatever standard: conceptual
creativity, speed, ingenuity of design, or problem-solving ability.
*Randall E. Stross*

Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft
building progress by weight.
*Bill Gates*
