Hi Antoine, Thanks for the response! I tried the following:
> Why don't you just redirect the output of your noisy command? > xpra start --start="bash -c 'therealcommand &> /dev/null'" When trying to start a local session it works fine and stdout of the noisy command is redirected to /dev/null. But when trying to run the command on a remote machine I get the following error: Ambiguous output redirect. 2021-05-09 20:43:16,088 Error: SSH connection to the xpra server failed 2021-05-09 20:43:16,088 check your username, hostname, display number, firewall, etc 2021-05-09 20:43:16,088 for server: ssh:pci@172.00.00.26 2021-05-09 20:43:16,088 the command line used was: 2021-05-09 20:43:16,088 ssh -x -l pci -T 172.19.31.26 sh -c 'xpra initenv;~/.xpra/run-xpra _proxy_start "--start-child=bash -c 'therealcommand >& /dev/null'" --exit-with-children --mmap-group || $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/xpra/run-xpra _proxy_start "--start-child=bash -c 'therealcommand >& /dev/null'" --exit-with-children --mmap-group || xpra _proxy_start "--start-child=bash -c 'therealcommand >& /dev/null'" --exit-with-children --mmap-group' Any idea how to overcome this ? *Cheers,* *Yonatan* On Sun, 9 May 2021 at 15:28, Antoine Martin via shifter-users < shifter-users@lists.devloop.org.uk> wrote: > On 09/05/2021 14:56, yonatan zaken via shifter-users wrote: > > Hi All, > > My platform: Linux Kubuntu 14 > > xpra version: xpra v1.0.12-r19800 > > > > I am trying to find a way to disable the redirecting of the xpra server > > output to the log file. > If you run your server with "--no-daemon" then the output will just go > to stdout.
