Chat Logging Script for Museekd

## NAME

**Mulog** - Chat Logging Script for Museekd

## DESCRIPTION

Mulog is command-line Python script that connects to [*museekd*(1)](/museekd/1.md) and saves chat messages into log files. Under the Log Directory, it creates room & private subdirectories and a syslog file. If it loses connection with museekd, it will automatically exit.

Setting the interface and password on the command-line is a security risk. Since interface and password settings are saved to the config file when set, you should set them, exit mulog, and restart mulog without the options on the commandline..LP

Before running, you will need a working [*museekd*(1)](/museekd/1.md) and need to know your museekd interface and interface password. Configure those with [*musetup*(1)](/musetup/1.md).
