tvheadend logging

Added by neil mac almost 13 years ago

Hi All,

I using a init.d script to start tvheadend but I am unable to pipe the logs out. What is everyone doing for this?

is there any configuration to set the logging location?

Cheers,
Neil

HTS Tvheadend
Usage: tvheadend [options]
-s              Log debug to syslog
-d Debug logging

So 2 options ... Log directly to syslog using -s ... Or use -d and redirext the console to seperate log file ...
