how to get the logs in log file? of telnet localhost 5677

[Sprogrammer]

How to get all the turn client connection logs in a file? (instead of doing a manual telnet localhost 5766 and do >ps.  -l , -vV does not seems to do anything is it normal! )

$ turnserver -vV -l /var/tmp/t.log

Thank you

First, do not use -V option - use just -v.

Second, you have to locate where the log file is. That's possible that it cannot create a file in /var/tmp/ because of permission restrictions.

I suppose that in the turnserver.conf you have the daemon option set, this is why you do not see the output on the screen. But it must be in the file.

$ chkconfig turnserver off

$ init 6

-------- reboot -----

$ service turnserver stop
$ cat >> /etc/turnserver/turnserver.conf <\EOF
user=root:root
realm=IP
no-tls
no-dtls
no-stdout-log
syslog
EOF

-------------- not running temporary as daemon -----

$ turnserver -v -l /tmp/test.log

Just tried with below, i can see the verbose details in my terminal but, i do not see anything is getting saved in /tmp/turn.log file

$ grep ^[^#] /etc/turnserver/turnserver.conf
user=root:root
realm=I...
no-tls
no-dtls
verbose
log-file=/tmp/turn.log

it seems like log-file do not work and -l do not work. Is there any other way i can save it to a file if log-file/-l not working?

You may be missing several points:

1) In your original setup, you used the --syslog option - that option forces all log into the syslog (in your case, that would be /var/log/syslog) and the log-file is ignored.

2) Without --syslog option, everything is going to the log file, I re-tested it and it works correctly. But the name of the log file is not "turn.log" or "test.log"; the real name is "turn_<date>.log" or "test_<date>.log". The parameter in the --log-file option is just a file name pattern, that is not the exact file name. Do the command:

$ ls -l /var/tmp/

and you will see your files.
