Pomoc Execute.log - Log File Constantly Grows in Size

[moreChalk]

Log file execute.log, located at /share/Rdownload/logs is constantly growing in size.
File will grow until my machine runs out of space on Volume.

I would like to know if there is setting that can cap the file size or not create the log file at all.
Below is an example of the file size after only 20 mins

95% of the log is filled with repeated entries of:

PHP Warning:  stristr(): Empty needle in /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/rtorrent/var/www/ui/rtorrent/plugins/plimits/limits.php on line 278

Inspecting limits.php shows the function on line 278

 public function checkPublic( $trackers )
        {
                foreach( $this->trackers as $trk )
                        if( stristr( $trackers, $trk )!==false )
                                return(true);
                return(false);
        }

But i am no knowledgeable enough in PHP to fix it.

The same log picture plays out in the crash report folders /share/Rdownload/reports/crash*

Things I have attempted so far:

1. Launching rtorrent-Pro and then deleting execute.log as admin via the shell
   Pros: execute.log is not regenerated
   Cons: ruTorrent web console complains that RSS Feeds cannot be loaded.
   RSS Rules not honored / torrents that match rules in RSS manager are not fetched.
   
2. Create a crontab entry to constantly null out the log file every minute
   Edit /etc/config/crontab and add entry
   

    * * * * * >/share/Rdownload/logs/execute.log

   Reload config and restart
   

   crontab /etc/config/crontab && /etc/init.d/crond.sh restart

   Pros: Filesize under control, RSS feed works (no web console error message)
   Cons: Log is still writing to disk constantly.

Let me know if there is additional settings I can try / debug I can provide that can assist in finding a solution.

Not sure if I inadvertently edited a setting, but I thought I had done a clean install of the package on my NAS.

Firmware version: 4.4.1.1146 2019/12/06
Model name: QNAP TVS-473

This method is wrong.

Its better to disable execute logging at all or disable plimits plugins.

1. Disable execute logs
   
   • Open to edit: /usr/bin/rtorrent/etc/rtorrent.conf.tpl/config.tpl
     
     
   • Find:
     log.execute = (cat, (cfg.logs), "execute.log")
     
     
   • Comment this line
     # log.execute = (cat, (cfg.logs), "execute.log")
     
     
   • Save and regenerate config using UI settings
     
     
2. Disable plimits plugin
   (The plug-in is intended for restrict upload on public trackers.)
   

   • cd /usr/bin/rtorrent/var/www/ui/rtorrent/plugins
     mv plimits ../plugins.notused

BTW: plimits plugin in future releases will be removed.
Since some users complained about low seed speed while using public trackers - LOL

Perfect -- Thank you for the config location and plugin folder.

Issue resolved.
