Using syslog logging for "normal" day-to-day logging is fine--especially if that's the way your distro sets it up. I was just asking that when submitting logs for others to read to help diagnose issues that they be created using MythTV logging.<br>
<br>
That said, does Ubuntu really start mythlogserver? If so, does it have some monitoring thing restart it (like upstart or whatever)? If so, this is probably why so many users are getting so many duplicate mythlogserver instances. TTBOMK, unless something has changed, mythlogserver shouldn't be started by the user since it's started automatically by MythTV applications.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div style>To clarify, I have never had any issues with duplicate mythlogserver instances. I believe that the mythbackend is starting the running instance of mythlogserver as it should. And I understand that, as long as I am not having problems, the default logging is fine. But is there a better way to setup logging so that when I do have a problem I don't have to go search list archives or wiki pages or Google to reconfigure logging so I can get help? Or would that produce too much logging and therefore large log files and/or log files that are rolled too often?</div>
