* status: new => needs_information Comment: What version of Torsocks are you using? The current source code at https://gitweb.torproject.org/torsocks.git/tree/ supports the -q/--quiet option. The man page that came with torsocks when I install it via brew also says the following: {{{ -q, --quiet Suppress every log messages [sic] (even errors). }}} For some reason, when I just enter the torsocks command on the terminal this option isn't presented with all the others, even though it exists and is documented in the man page (not sure if there's a reason, to me it seems like it should appear with all the rest of the options). Anyway, using -q sets a variable within torsocks called {{{TORSOCKS_LOG_LEVEL}}} to 1. Torsocks checks this variable before outputting errors. The lower the level, the more conservative Torsocks is about logging. 1 (quiet mode) is the lowest level. The highest level is 5, which is set via the -d/--debug option. What system are you on and how did you install torsocks? If you installed it using a package manager it's possible they provide a version that predates the -q option. If that's the case, torsocks is pretty easy to build yourself by cloning the git repo (https://gitweb.torproject.org/torsocks.git/tree/) and following the instructions here: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torsocks.git/tree/README.md If it is the case that your package manager gave you a torsocks that lacks -q I'll bug the repository maintainers to use a newer version so that others don't have to go through this. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/26888#comment:1> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
