Hi,
Is there any way to turn off the below status messages that VDR outputs in syslog?
Oct 31 16:31:38 vdr[6491]: channel 12 (TV4) event 15:40 'Nyheterna' status 1 Oct 31 16:31:38 vdr[6491]: channel 12 (TV4) event 15:40 'Nyheterna' status 4 Oct 31 16:31:38 vdr[6491]: channel 12 (TV4) event 15:40 'Nyheterna' status 1
Normally there is a few of these per hour, but lately there have been a "few more". This filled up the /var disk on our logging server, and that happened after 120000 of these messages. I guess the cable provider again has fubar data that they send out (happens quite often) and VDR isn't at fault (other than logging the status changes). I could of course just comment out the line in question and recompile...

One way to get rid of these entries is to change the log level which syslogd records into the log file.
In /etc/syslog.conf change the line like: *.debug;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages
To: *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages
Then restart syslogd or otherwise get it to reload the config file.

Well, I'm still planning to only log the running status changes for events (or maybe even entire schedules) that have a timer set to them. But that would only help you if you don't have a timer on that channel.
It never seizes to amaze me how inventive broadcasters are when it comes to finding new ways to screw things up...
