The original default basicConfig() added a stderr Streamhandler. The log is duplicated to both the stderr and the file log 'vsmtest.log'. Outputting all the log to the screen makes the test less easier to read.

Thanks Zhengang for this patch - I've applied this. I'd noticed the output of the suite had changed, but wasn't sure what the cause was.
Agreed - the output is much easier to read with this patch applied. However, I could see why duplicating the log to stderr might be useful in some cases.
Does anyone see value in this? We could add an option that allows to user to enable logging to stderr. Although, if we decide to do this, some of the tests will need to be cleaned up. Some tests are quite verbose, which might need to be pared down.
Thoughts? I was going for '-v' for 'verbose'. But we already have a '-v' for 'virt'. How about '-d' for 'debug output'? And I'd like this '-d' disabled by default.
Ideas?
-d for debug sounds good to me - if other think it is useful, of course. I don't want to clutter the suite with too many options. -- Kaitlin Rupert IBM Linux Technology Center kaitlin@linux.vnet.ibm.com
