Michael, Would it be possible to have a per queue log files setup? Kind
of like lpr does. It's a bit of a pain to hunt through the log files
which to
a certain degree is misnamed since 'error_log' implies it should ONLY log
errors when the reality it logs a lot more depending on the value of
loglevels.
