Disable logfile

[iShift]

I have 10 MB debug.log file, i think we can disable log writing by default, it can increase twister speed and save space and I/O on HDD

10 MB for one month (!)

Interim solution (at least for linux users):

$ cd ~/.twister/
$ rm -f debug.log && ln -s /dev/null debug.log

You can also put

shrinkdebugfile=1

in ~/.twister/twister.conf.

Or you can write a thin wrapper, say start-twisterd, around twisterd in order to truncate debug.log before twisterd is started, e.g.:

#!/bin/sh
: > ~/.twister/debug.log
exec twisterd "${@}"

Cheers.

PS: What's 10 MB these days?

[iShift]

@kseistrup i think we need option in config file to disable logs (by default)

@iShift, obviously — otherwise you wouldn't have submitted a ticket in the first place. All I was offering was a couple of ideas to how to remedy the situation until a solution is in place.

No objections from me.
