From e31820af10cfdea8baf941ee7df676db92d5b1bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ruslan Babayev Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2020 17:45:02 -0800 Subject: vlib: add nosyslog unix option The "nosyslog" option disables syslog just like the "interactive" mode but can be used together with "nodaemon". This is useful for when VPP is running under a process supervisor like runit or daemontools that pipe the stdout/stderr to a dedicated logger service.
