disable log files

[opyrus]

how do i disable the logs there realy eating up space on me. is there like a setting for this some where? after like one day my server log folder is like a gig id realy would rather have it not log anything.

Ya, all the devs run on linux I am sure, cause this problem doesn't happen on linux. On windows, the log files are insanely ridiculous. There is no easy way to disable the logs, but I you can stop them simply by deleting or renaming the log folder to another name. You won't get logs, and you will get a couple of errors when you start the server, but it doesn't cause any real problems. Then if you ever decide you want to actually get some logs to investigate a problem, you just put the folder back again. Pretty simple.

much better i renamed the log folder to log.off dident even realy get an error just a debug msg in the server console.

after running with no logs for about a day there is a major reduction in system useage. server is useing less ram less cpu and the number of system handles droped by 200.000 went from 500,000 down to 300,000 and disk IO has droped by alot to.

My handles are at 51k. Anyways, I renamed my log dir and now Im a happier GM! Thanks for the tip!
