In file /etc/slon.conf I have syslog=2 and messages go both to syslog and the standard output (not only to syslog). It make big files in /var/log. In function slon_log (file src/slon/misc.c) fwrite is always called.
This patch (against HEAD) addresses this: http://github.com/cbbrowne/slony1-engine/commit/9eb5bce628d7feafb422c6f4b7e65518c8f1bc22 I'd think it likely that this will apply to 2.0, too, and I'd agree with applying it there. Other devs, please validate that this looks good to y'all!
Jan to review.
Patch applied to master and REL_2_0_STABLE.
