The only way you get a log file is if you redirect stderr to a file, like so: wine program.exe &>wine.log Since you create the log files, they're easy to remove with: rm wine.log or some such command. If you don't want any output at all, set the WINEDEBUG environment variable to -all, like so: WINEDEBUG=-all wine program.exe Then none of the FIXMEs, ERRs, TRACEs, etc. will get printed to stderr. And it makes troubleshooting very hard... If you are getting a bunch of fixmes you can always turn of the 'channel' WINEDEBUG=-richedit wine program.exe should shut down all reporting for richedit. James McKenzie ------------------------------------------------ Aren't these all things that have to be turned on in the first place, with winedbg? I was looking for an automatic and insidious logger like linux's rsyslog. Here's my problem. I'm running a program (NaturallySpeaking) that creates lots of useless error message and has the capacity to create huge logs. Rsyslog was killing it. I turned of linux's logging with sudo service rsyslog stop and NatSpeak started running much better, without freezing/crashing. So, I thought there might be an equivalent Windows logger that ran in wine, and a similar command to kill it. Susan
