Is it possible to allow in pol.cfg an alternate paths for log files to be stored?

The reason I ask is that the log directory can grow to be quite large and it might be preferanble to have logs stored on a different drive than the main shard is running on. Plus it would make it easier when making a full back-up of a shard since most probably don't save their log directory in shard back-ups.

Check the pol archiver out on the tools forum

*nods*

It wasn't just about making back-ups easier.

I was thinking about how large the size of the log directory could theoretically grow if you had some "runaway" debug logs. I use runaway loosely here ofcourse. I had my debug log reach 800 megs once due to some odd things being logged there and that was only after a week of uptime. My point being that one could find oneself running out of hard drive space and not get a proper worldsave. I understand this is a rare possibility due to the size of todays drives but it is a possibility.

I just thought it might be more prudent to have logs saved on a different drive than the POL world data or atleast have that as an option.

Anyway, keep up the good work guys.

If you're running Linux you could delete the log folder and put a mount to another drive there and name it "log".

You can do that in Windows too... I'm sure theres instructions online otherwise I can pull them out of my MCDST book.
