Title: Configurable logs ?
Post by: GruiicK on April 25, 2014, 01:57:15 PM
Hi,


May be I've missed that part in the doc, but: Is there a way to configure logs?

If not, I'm asking for a way to configure logs output:

 0- not all in the same file (ie: ~/.mandelbulber_log.txt)

 1- maybe by directory, as of images/keyframes/settings...

 2- maybe configurable by/in fract files (in keyframes)

Even better :
 3- "-stdlog", that redirect logs to stderr/stdout (and then scriptable)

 4- "-nolog" option, that turn off logs.

Why am I asking that: I work in a HPC facility, I have access to ~400 HPC computers (~9k cores).
We run a job scheduler (grid engine), and /homes are shared via NFS.

Working with mandelbulber (with -nogui) on such grid is easy, except one thing:
One can run only one unique mandelbulber job at a time because of the unique log
file. With configurable logs, one can run multiples mandelbulber jobs, on multiples
projects at the very same time! :o)

Thanks a lot, and have fractal fun.
