[Twisted-Python] twistd save state does not work

Hello, I've readied my app for use with twistd, the daemonizing works, but a tap file is not saved upon exit (kill 'cat twisted.pid'). How can I enable the save state option? BTW I'm not using the -o option with twistd ;) Second ... is it possible to disable the twisted logging if you use twistd to start the app? Or is it possible to set a log level so that only warnings and errors are shown and my log is not flooded with (TCPServer) connection messages. - Remi -
