Subject | Re: st: Suppressing -log- in Linux batch mode |

You could try "run" instead of "do", like this: nohup stata -b run mydofile & This will not stop the log from being created, but the log will only have the Stata start-up text. This is the same behavior you would get with quietly{ } If you don't want the log file to show up at all, you could delete it from within the do-file. You could pass an option to the do-file so you could control this behavior from the command line. Your do-file would look like this: --top of file-- args log -- your do-file -- if "`log'"=="nolog" { ! rm mydofile.log } --end of file-- Then, in linux, use one of these batch mode commands: # With log: nohup stata -b do mydofile & # No log: nohup stata -b run mydofile nolog & Mike On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 5:36 PM, Ted Player <ted.player.660@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello everyone.
