Hide AmiTCPIP Log Window

[eva]

Is there a way to hide the AmiTCP log window? It looks like a bridge for syslog and pops-up every time I telnet or log on and off with an FTP client. I have read the AmiTCP FAQ, searched the AmiTCP documentation but there is little mention of the AmiTCP log window...

--- SOLVED:

Edit:

AmiTCP:db/AmiTCP.config

and add the line:

consolename=nil:

at the end of the file.

I remember quite vaguely, but I once solved this problem.

Either in your s:user-startup or amitcp:bin/startnet script there should be a line that defines the console for AmiTCP (redirects to "con: ..."). Customise that console setting for your needs or remove the redirection entirely.

Thanks. No dice though...

S:user-startup contains just:

assign AmiTCP: Workbench:AmiTCP
path AmiTCP:bin add
AmiTCP:bin/umask 022

with the >"con:..." line commented out and AmiTCP:bin/startnet:

run >NIL: AmiTCP:AmiTCP
; route / ifconfig stuff
Assign TCP: Exists > NIL:
If Warn
  Mount TCP: from AmiTCP:devs/Inet-Mountlist
EndIf
run >NIL: AmiTCP/bin/inetd
AmiTCP:bin/login -f amiga

I have tried stuff like:

run >NIL: AmiTCP/bin/inetd >NIL:
AmiTCP:bin/login -f amiga >NIL:

but again no dice.

For posteriority, this is now fixed.

Edit:

AmiTCP:db/AmiTCP.config

and add the line:

consolename=nil:

at the end of the file.

Ah, right, the user-startup/startnet con: definition was only for the window that appears when you start AmiTCP... Makes sense!

It does! Then again, this would be a non-question if AmiTCP.config were documented. I have read their FAQ, the documentation, even the installation instructions to find some description of the possible settings in AmiTCP.config. There is no description - tried AmiTCP3 and the demo AmiTCP4...
