change Glog configuration for stopping it to send the output in logfile anywhere.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It is just a question than an issue.
I am new to glog...
>> I wanted to change Glog configuration for stopping it to send the output 
in logfile(The default output file gets generated at:
/tmp/<program name>.<hostname>.<user name>.log.<severity 
level>.<date>.<time>.<pid>, i wanted to stop this)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No output INFO or WARNING generated anywhere, it should be nulified.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
glog-0.3.0 on FreeBSD

Please suggest the way, how can i achieve the above?

You can use minloglevel=2 to suppress INFO and WARNING.

i checked by running config as: ./configure minloglevel=2, it doesn't workout 
for me.
still could see 2 files getting generated under /tmp:
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    231 May 10 19:48 
app.INPE01697LT.apac.com.root.log.INFO.20100510-194816.4480
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     79 May 10 19:48 app.INFO -> 
app.INPE01697LT.apac.com.root.log.INFO.20100510-194816.4480

please suggest any proper way, like changing in config, or passing some flags 
while 
installing glog, can i achieve the same (that is: no logs of any kind, should 
be 
generated by glog anywhr)

Basically, my requirement is to: 
SUPPRESS 
INFO,WARNING, ERROR and FATAL (all kind of) messages/log file being generated 
under 
default directory (/tmp).

Additional requirement: I want :

1> all log files generated from glog locally, to be blocked (Instead of this, i 
am 
capturing this logs in my own file and wanted to keep it at centralized/server 
location... this feature is not provided by glog).

2> I want my logs to be generated at centralize location 
and it should not be like: 
if i am stopping/blocking glog to generate log files locally than it is 
blocking this 
logs generation at centralized/server location too.

Waiting For Quick Response!

Have you checked the document I pointed?

http://google-glog.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/glog.html#flags

The minloglevel parameter isn't the parameter for configure. If you don't have 
gflags 
installed, you can use environment variable like

GLOG_minloglevel=4 ./your_app

or, if you have gflags installed, you can do

./your_app --minloglevel=4

If you want to change the directory where log files will be stored, you may be 
able 
to use GLOG_log_dir environment variable or --log_dir flag.

If you want to suppress logs by compile time switch, you can use 
GOOGLE_STRIP_LOG 
macro.
