You can get whether the server is loging or not through
$ mysqladmin -p variables
and check the value of, you guessed it, the entry 'log'

I don't know if you can make the server turn logging on/off while it is running. But 
you can swithc logging on/off for a particular session giving:
SET SQL_LOG_OFF=1 (the client must have the Process privilege)
