Isn't it safer to just provide another backend logging module, that does nothing

As you very well know, there are several alternative modules implementing it, including syslog. This being said, having drush implement it on behalf of system.module does not look (to me) like a safe practice, as can be seen from the sample consequence mentioned by sivaji. This being said, a hackish/interesting alternative would be to use runkit_function_redefine() to change the normal implementation, but that's definitely not good practice. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Randy Fay" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 19, 2011 5:49 PM Subject: Re: [development] RE : Disable watchdog globally > None of this is ok, as the function watchdog() is used everywhere, and it > would then be an undefined function.
