Basic Logging Start-up Options

As previously indicated, at start up both the debug and verbose levels can also be set via command line arguments. To set the debug level on start up use the "-d" argument optionally followed by more "d"s. Asterisk will start with a debug level represented by the number of "d"s specified. As an example, the following will start Asterisk with a debug level of "3":

asterisk -ddd

To set the verbose level on start up use the "-v" argument optionally followed by more "v"s. Asterisk will start with a verbose level represented by the number of "v"s specified. As an example, the following will start Asterisk with a verbose level of "3":

asterisk -vvv

And of course both of these arguments can be specified at the same time:

asterisk -dddvvv
