log_path Use this logfile instead of syslog(). /dev/stderr can be used if you want to use stderr for logging (ONLY /dev/stderr - otherwise it is closed). (I dont understand the above references to the use of stderr) info_log_path For informational messages, use this logfile instead of the default (What exactly is an informational message, and what is the default?) Can I selectively suppress logging like: Feb 5 11:52:15 ls1 imap(iamelel): File isn't in mbox format: /gfg0/iamelel//claudia/ligplot/NQ10/ligplot.bonds Or do I have to turn off logging entirely? Thanks, Terry.
