Arch doesn't use wrapper scripts, and Bill has told you how to use the<br>
logging options. If you still don't get it, then I can't help you.<br>
<br>
It is generally accepted that when you ask for help in a free software<br>
community, you show some evidence of effort on your part. So far, Raymond,<br>
Bill and I have all circled "no logging options were used" as the answer,<br>
and yet you seem to ignore it each time<br>

Thanks for your answer "Arch doesn't use wrapper scripts". but please<br>
refrain from participating in this discussion any further.<br>

Wow.<br>
<br>
Maybe you had tried: mythfrontend --syslog local7 (for example) from the command<br>
line and found no logs. In that case, reading this paragraph could explain things:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Limit_the_size_of_.log_files_%26_the_journal#The_first_topic_on_this_page_will_briefly_cover_the_systemd_journal" target="_blank">wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?<u></u>title=Limit_the_size_of_.log_<u></u>files_%26_the_journal#The_<u></u>first_topic_on_this_page_will_<u></u>briefly_cover_the_systemd_<u></u>journal</a><br>
<br>
which says logs will go to the journal system. But, I'm a *buntu user<br>
so I can't test that. Does: journalctl -b | grep -i myth work?<br>
<br>
It also says the distribution uses a syslog-ng configuration file. So this<br>
might help:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Simple_syslog-ng_Configuration" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/<u></u>Simple_syslog-ng_Configuration</a><br>
<br>
If you don't understand syslog-ng (I've never used it,) you could put<br>
yours in an accessible pastebin for others to comment on (after adding<br>
the lines from the Wiki if they're not already there.)<br>
<br>
You haven't reported anything about using: mythfrontend --logpath /tmp.<br>
syslog-ng should have nothing to do with it.<div class=""><div class="h5"><br>
