Writes logging messages to a file in the directory logpath with filenames in the format: applicationName.date.pid.log. This is typically used in combination with --daemon, and if used in combination with --pidfile, this can be used with log rotators, using the HUP call to inform MythTV to reload the file
Don't log to the console (-q). Don't log anywhere (-q -q)
Set the syslog logging facility. Set to "none" to disable, defaults to none.
Use systemd-journal instead of syslog.
Specify log filtering. Use '-v help' for level info.
