Sharon,
I implemented your proposal for a workaround. So, the
problem is solved. Thank you!
Bodo

Bodo,
As a workaround, if you want don't want the stdout/stderr for a process that is
run on a Unix machine written to STAFProc's console nor to a file, you could
redirect stdout/sdterr to /dev/nul. For example:
<process>
<location>machine</location>
<command>cmd</command>
<stdout>'/dev/nul'</stdout>
<stderr mode="'stdout'"/> OR <stderr>'/dev/nul'</stderr>
</process>
Also, I open a feature request for this (or you can if you prefer) so that
STAFProc's output won't be cluttered with unwanted process stdout/stderr as you
said. Perhaps it we should make the NEWCONSOLE option the default for Unix
processes (like it already is on Windows). On Unix, this could mean to have
the stdout/stderr output sent to /dev/nul if you don't specify STDOUT/ERR nor
RETURNSTDOUT/ERR so that the process's console is not shared with STAFProc's
console by default. I'll have to investigate this further for the right
implementation.

Sharon,
I'm running STAFProc on Linux. And I'm using nohup, so output is written to
file.
Unfortunately, some of the processes are a bit noisy, so the file will grow
very long.
As those prints are actually not relevant, they are not written to file.
If there are some important messages from STAFProc itself, it will be hard to
find them. So, an option would be fine.

Bodo,
When starting a process on Windows using STAF, the default is to get the
process a new console window (e.g. via the NEWCONSOLE option, and is the
default if the SAMECONSOLE option is not specified). So, yes, when starting a
process on Windows using STAF, and you don't specify the STDOUT/ERR nor
RETURNSTDOUT/ERR option(s), the process's output is sent to a new console
(which disappears when the process completes) instead of to STAFProc's output
by default (e.g. when you don't specify the SAMECONSOLE option).
However, when starting a process on Unix using STAF, the default is to have the
process share the STAFProc console and specifying the NEWCONSOLE option has no
effect. So, no, on Unix, there is not an option to switch this output off if
you don't specify the STDOUT/ERR nor RETURNSTDOUT/ERR options(s). However,
note that if you start STAFProc using nohup, e.g. (nohup STAFProc &) which
redirects STAFProc's output to nohup.out or if you start STAFProc and redirect
it's output (e.g. STAFProc & > /tmp/stafproc.out), the stdout/stderr from
processes will be written to the redirected file (not the console).

[staf-users] Logging to STAFProc's stdout
Hi,
when a process produces some output on stdout or stderr, but the process does
not write
to file (<stdout/err>filename<stdout/err>) nor uses <returnstdout/err>, the
output is sent
to STAFProc's stdout.
Is there an option to switch this output off?
Best Regards
