Oh, then in this case use tmux or screen and just check in on the application output from time to time, or ignore it all together. Either way you will avoid the output mangling and still have auditability.

| Aug 31, 2017 at 7:36 | comment | added | atux | I thought of that already, but in these particular cases let's say the output is not important enough to keep in a file but still I'd like to see it as it gives constant info on certain operating parameters (e.g. a crypto-miner's output). Also since the app is long-term running and already has it's own logging function (for meaningful events), I'd like to avoid having some additional file bloat on the disk and having to set up logrotate for it just to keep it in check. But I agree in some cases this may be a useful workaround. | |
