It sounds much better than the hack I provided.

Could you open a ticket in Trac?

Because of that I implemented the logging through environment variables. Of course if users begin to request that, I can change my mind. -- Best Regards, Wander Lairson Costa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
