This is an alternative I recommend (based on the comment from open-vm-tools/lib/include/vmware/tools/log.h)
#### tools.conf #### [logging] # Turns on logging globally. It can still be disabled for each domain. # log = true # Disables core dumps on fatal errors; they're enabled by default. # enableCoreDump = false # Defines the "vmsvc" domain, logging to file # vmsvc.level = message vmsvc.handler = file # Setup file rotation - keep 3 files vmsvc.maxOldLogFiles = 3 # Max log file size kept: 1 MB vmsvc.maxLogSize = 1 # Defines the "vmtoolsd" domain, and disable logging for it. # vmtoolsd.level = none #### end of tools.conf #### Thanks for looking into this.
