--no-log option

[James Hunt]

Hi Ben,

This option cannot be changed after Upstart has started. However assuming
you have ssh access, if you *really* need to disable logging, there is a
hack you could employ temporarily:

for job in /etc/init/*.conf
do
        override=$(echo "$job" | sed 's/\.conf$/.override/g')
        echo 'console none' | sudo tee -a "$override"
done

sudo reboot


This is clearly brittle since any new jobs that get installed after you run
the above will not have the 'console none' until you re-run the above.
