Do not append log file?

Currently, when I write to a log file it appends the file if it exists.
Is it possible to overwrite the file instead?

No, but you can do an
rm /path/to/log in the script that calls filebot.
EDIT:
del on Windows

Eh, you mean to simply delete the file before it is written again?

Pretty much. Do you have any objections with that?

That will probably work. I had actually planned to do exactly that in my "Automate" script that runs the Filebot suball script.
I just wondered if there was a flag to overwrite the file rather than append so that a delete would not be needed..
No problem. I will delete the file instead (which will happen multiple times in a loop as I cycle through the shows)
