I don't think it's a good idea. When debugging things I usually run qemu several times, and each time I'd have to look up which of all the /tmp/qemu.log.* files is the current one instead of just refreshing the qemu.log that I'm viewing. Maybe adding a -logfile option would allow what you're trying to achieve without affecting other use cases? I've always thought that it's strange that you can only change the logfile location in the monitor and not on the command line. Kevin
