Same thing for crond. I have something in crontab running every 5 minutes and 
my 
syslog is full of contd messages.... Wish there was a way to reduce or 
eliminate 
those crond messages...  Thanks

Subject: [Astlinux-users] Reducing verbosity of hostapd and dnsmasq

Hello

I have hostapd and dnsmasq running nicely on my machine (thanks to this 
mailing list :-) ). However, they are much too verbose to my mind.

I haven't found a good way to reduce verbosity so far. For hostapd it seems 
to be hard coded in /etc/init.d/hostapd. If I increase the levels in this 
file to "3" it seems to be o.k. for me. But I guess, it would be nicer to 
have a user.conf variable for that, if it is possible.

For dnsmasq I haven't found any way so far to reduce logging. So my log is 
filling up with

and so on and so forth.

Does anybody know how to limit logging to error messages only?

Btw. for the next astlinux version, it might be a good feature to have 
configurable settings on the gui for logging information, if this is 
possible. So, in the normal case, one would use just error logging. And only 
if there are problems of some kind, one would switch to debug logging :-)

Thanks

Michael
