Subject: Fix lcdproc-remind interaction by ensuring the log file exists
X-Git-Url: https://hydra-www.ietfng.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=493867cf0d272c8d68dea4f6700b9dcddf4fcb84;p=acmetensortoys-snakecontrol

Fix lcdproc-remind interaction by ensuring the log file exists

At startup, until cron kicks off remind, we won't have a log file and
inotify will fail.  This is a tranient failure, at least.
