--logfile doesn't appear to work on Solaris 10

[oh_noes]

This one is an interesting one. For 99% of the time, logfile does nothing and nothing is written to it. Sometimes, randomly it will write to the file and then stops halfway through the line.

Anyone seen this before? Is my parameter order wrong?

Code: Select all

$ rm "/data/log/transmission-daemon.log"
$ touch "/data/log/transmission-daemon.log"
$ /usr/local/transmission/bin/transmission-daemon --config-dir /data/info --logfile "/data/log/transmission-daemon.log" --no-portmap --no-lpd 
$ pgrep trans
13910
$ sleep 60
$ tail -5 "/data/log/transmission-daemon.log"
$

I should also note that:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/transmission/bin/transmission-daemon --config-dir /data/info --log-debug --foreground

Runs and logs everything to stdout without a problem. But passing in --logfile doesn't appear to reliably work for me.

what to you have entered in settings.json for

"message-level": ?,

also verify that the user running transmission-daemon has valid permission to write at /data/log/transmission-daemon.log

otherwise everything looks right and it may be a Solaris-specific bug. I do something very similar in Linux and it all works fine.

Hi gunzip,

My message-level is 3.

Code: Select all

    "message-level": 3, 

According to EditConfigFiles 3 is debug, so I would expect everything to be constantly logged. it definitely has full write access to the directory and that file.

I will log a bug, thanks; I just wanted to check there wasn't a 'quick' that I needed to be aware of.
