Re: Reducing syslog output

There is no way to stop these being written. They are primarily for debugging, so suppressing them will only be a problem when something goes wrong. Maybe I should add a debug level option

Hi
I'm looking to reduce BPQ's syslog output in order to preserve the life of my Pi's SD card. (I don't wish to move to temporary logging or a read-only filesystem.)

I see many lines like

May 21 11:34:28 gb7rdg-node LINBPQ[3390]: BPQ32 Heartbeat Buffers 999#015

and periodically:
May 21 08:29:29 gb7rdg-node LINBPQ[3390]: Resolving update.g8bpq.net#015

Is there a way to disable that logging through config? Or am I best off commenting out lines in source code?

Filtering those out from today's syslog leaves me with this:
May 21 01:00:02 gb7rdg-node LINBPQ[3390]: |Enter HouseKeeping#015

May 21 12:07:24 gb7rdg-node LINBPQ[3390]: Delete Node for ALIAS:G5ODB Called with active L4 Session - State 5#015

most of which seems fairly useful - excepting "Enter HouseKeeping" and "Saving WP Database" which I see as internal.
