Hi Ben,

(a): if you are using the latest StreamDevice (2.8.19, or my fork as shown in #b), set the variable "streamDebugColored" to 0 either in st.cmd or the EPICS shell: var streamDebugColored 0
(streamDebugColored is default to 1)

(b): I have a fork from PSI StreamDevice: https://github.com/huyong1979/StreamDevice. You can try my fork. It works on Debian 7 (base-3.14.12.3 , gcc 4.7.2, make 3.81). I can turn off the timestamps added to messages by setting the variable "streamDebugTS" to 0 (streamDebugTS is default to 1).

Cheers,
Yong

    Is there a way in streamdevice to

    (a) turn off coloring of messages?
    (b) turn off the timestamps added to messages?

    Rationale: we log everything happening on an IOC's console and the color
    escape codes make the logs hard to read. Also, the logging already
    inserts a timestamp, so the extra timestamp added by streamdevice gets
    in the way.

    Cheers
    Ben
