While someone is working on patches to Vixie Cron, I'd like to see a
command line argument to control whether logging is enabled or disabled.
I'd be happy to do the code changes if someone else can do the making of
RPM from it, etc. With the last version of RH I was running, I loaded the
sources and turned off logging. This is certainly something I can do
again, and probably will, but it'd make so much more sense if this were
controllable at run time. I like having a log when something is actually
run, but I don't need a log filled with "atrun" executed lines (I rarely
use at, so it's rare to have anything in those spots in the log).
