I think it would be a good idea to be able to specify the error log on the command line when starting mysqld. Right now mysql users can only specify the following logs on the command line: log (access/activity log) log bin log bin index log update log isam log slow-queries innodb_log_*
I would love to be able to specify the error log on the command line. log error ( by default-only it is $MYSQL_ROOT/var/`hostname`.err ) mysqld --log-error=/usr/mysql/logs/error.log Maybe some people don't like that it is flagged as an "error" log. I really don't care what it is referred to as long as I can actually specify the name and location of the log. Does anyone else have an opinion on this? -RG --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
