calibre-server: some logging thoughts ...

[DrChiper]

Today I started my first encounter with the new calibre server: it is really a nice job and works well for my limited humble usage purposes Nice job!

I noticed that there is some logging which can be obtained via configuration. I just wondered whether the following thoughts possibly could improve its usage:

1. a "clear" function to empty the log-file(s);
2. a log-file "max size" setting, after which the logs just "roll-over";
3. a choice to place the logs in some non-default location;
4. the possibility to see real-time logging (similar to unix tail -f);

Just my 2cts which might improve an already fine function further

The log files are auto-rotated and there is already a setting int he advanced section to control the max size. You want to tail- f it, just open the folder where the files are tail -f them -- although I dont know if that will work in windows with its mandatory file locking.
