log.lammps output

Dear all,

As I've read from manual if log filename is indicated in the input
script then log.lammps file, which is default, should not be creating.
I get my log.mylogfile normally and log.lammps anyway. Problem is not
with my script because I also tested on scripts in lammps examples
directory. Is there any other way to switch off outputing default log
or is this 'bug' in lammps?

Best wishes,

no. this is the correct and logical behavior (when looking at how it is
implemented and considering the semantics of how lammps input is
processed: until you execute the "log" command, the default setting
is still active so you should get the log.lammps file. to change that
you have to use the command line flag '-log none'.
have a closer look at the documentation for more details.
