Controls the number of log files written before older files are reused. Defaults to 5, minimum is 2, maximum is 1000.

+

Note that, as a way to indicate the newest file, run_erl will + delete the oldest log file to maintain a "hole" in the file + sequences. For example, if log files #1, #2, #4 and #5 exists, that + means #2 is the latest and #4 is the oldest. You will therefore at most + get one less log file than the value set by + RUN_ERL_LOG_GENERATIONS.
