Hello,

Is there an option to tell conserver to not accumulate files and simply
truncate vs copy? I'm trying to keep from accumulating a directory of
files and I do not want a cron job that will go out and delete them all.

I also noticed that conserver does not support an option for character
size. I know that some of this has to do with emulating MARK and SPACE
parity. I can not remember now if I added support in 7.2.7 for
character size. I've perused the code and sure enough can not find it.
I'm running 8.1.18. I think I will be connecting to some devices that
may be 7,E,1. I'm not totally sure so I am not going to do the work of
implementing CSIZE yet. I want to make sure I'm not barking up the
wrong tree here.

Thanks,
Chris

Yep, there's no support for that at the moment. There could be an unlink() added to the end of RollLogs() function in conserver/group.c.

The parity setting you define in the config will trigger some of this. There's a mapping in conserver/consent.c:

struct parity parity[] = {
{"even", PARENB | CS7, 0},
{"mark", PARENB | CS7 | PARODD | PAREXT, 0},
{"none", CS8, 0},
{"odd", PARENB | CS7 | PARODD, 0},
{"space", PARENB | CS7 | PAREXT, 0},
};

So, use even parity and you end up with 7,E,1 (in theory, at least).
