Description

Control panel makes a new log every time session start is pressed. Great, but it's going to fill up the hard drive. Create some kind of automated logrotation, (maybe using task scheduler?) so it removes old logs on reboot, or add code to remove old logs, or make sure when verbosity = 0 it isn't really writing anything to the log.

Research direction

Locate the control panel code that creates a log when session start is pressed, then inspect how verbosity=0 is handled. Compare the possible approaches described in the issue, and consider reboot behavior; done means repeated starts cannot grow logs without bound and the selected cleanup or suppression behavior is verified.
