Screenlogging?  You mean ouputting things to the screen?  I think you can stop that with +set nostdout 1.

logfile

Type: Toggle

Default: 0

Description: Toggle the logging of console messages.

Values:
0 - Disable logging.
1 - Enable buffered logging where the log file is only updated when the text buffer fills up. The log file will be deleted and overridden when a new server starts up.
2 - Enable continuous logging where the log file is updated with every new line of text. The log file will be deleted and overridden when a new server starts up.
3 - Enable continuous logging where the log file is updated with ever new line of text. The log file will be appended to and logging will continue to the same log file when a new server starts up.

Put "set logfile 3" in your config or command line (with command line, you need to use +set logfile 3).
