I'm using apache commons daemon tool Procrun to install a java command line tool as a windows service.
The java tool displays lots of content on the console during running. Any sysout will automatically be logged by the daemon tool into a logfile. This file cannot be removed as long as the service is running.
Problem: my service and my application should hardly ever be restarted. This results in a daemon StdOutput logfile of several hundred GB per month, which I can only clear manually by stopping the app first.
Question: is it possible to disable this service logging?
You can avoid having your stdout and stderr written to a file by omitting a filename from the configuration script for the --StdOutput and --StdError parameters. I have this working with v1.0.15.0
For instance:
D:\prunsrv.exe //IS//SomeService ^
--DisplayName="SomeService" ^
--Description="Some Procrun Service" ^
--Startup=auto ^
--Install=%CD%\prunsrv.exe ^
--Jvm=%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll ^
--Classpath=%CD%\MyApplication-SNAPSHOT.jar; ^
--StartMode=jvm ^
--StartClass=com.myDomain.bootstrap ^
--StartMethod=start ^
--StartParams=start ^
--StopMode=jvm ^
--StopClass=com.myDomain.bootstrap ^
--StopMethod=stop ^
--StopParams=stop ^
--StdOutput= ^
--StdError= ^
--LogPath=%CD%\logs ^
--LogLevel=Debug ^
