If the log management capability is to be stopped for a directory server instance, then specify -k option along with -I option, and do not specify any of the -t, -a and -p options. If log management capability for admin tool's log file (idsadm.log) and log management tool's log file (idslogmgmt.log) is to be started, then specify one or more of -t, -a and -p, but do not specify any of -I and -k options.
