# log2ram(1)

Redirects log file writes into RAM

## NAME

log2ram - Redirects log file writes into RAM

## SYNOPSIS

  useful when that storage device has a limited number of write cycles,\
  such as an SD card.

## OPTIONS

  Starts the log2ram service.

- **stop**

  Stops the log2ram service.

- **write**

  Syncs the log files from RAM to disk.
