Beagle keeps filling up hard drive with huge logs

I'm using kdemod with the kickoff menu, which uses kerry beagle for its little search feature. I configured kerry just to index home, but for some reason it keeps spitting out this IndexHelper logfile that ends up taking up my entire /home partition. How do I stop kerry/beagle from doing this short of removing it

Re: Beagle keeps filling up hard drive with huge logs

here is an ugly solution

create a file in /etc/cron.hourly called "beagle-delete-logs"

put this in it

#!/bin/sh

rm /home/[yourusername]/.beagle/Log/*

chmod u+x /etc/cron.hourly/beagle-delete-logs

then run

/etc/rc.d/crond restart

Unless I am mistaken, JGC added a patch sometime during the last few beagle packages to decrease the logging in beagled.
