I’m running Duplicati on a Mac from launchd as follows:

/Applications/Duplicati.app/Contents/MacOS/duplicati-server --webservice-port=8200 --log-file=/Library/Logs/duplicati\_server.log --verbose=true

but the file duplicati-server.log remains empty. The LaunchDaemon has set stdout to /Library/Logs/duplicati\_out.log and stderr to /Library/Logs/duplicati\_err.log. duplicatie\_err.log is not created (a good thing, I guess) and duplicati\_out.log only contains “Server has started and is listening on 127.0.0.1, port 8200”, so it works. duplicati\_server.log remains empty.

How can I get a bit more information about what is going on?

If you add `--log-level=profiling` that should be the most logging available.

Does the capitalisation matter (“profiling” versus “Profiling”)?

As far as I know, command line options are not case-sensitive.
