Dserver log mystery - what does each log do, and how to set location for each?

[[TWB]Pand]

In the startup.cfg file there are several options for logs and log placement.  Anyone running a Dserver understands why I am asking these questions... especially on the mission log files.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

 

Binary log:  

      keep_binary_log = 1

      bin_log_folder = "logs\bin\"

            - What data does this log keep track of?   

            - I can specify bin_log_folder and and it writes the log to the correct location.

 

Chat log:  

      chatlog = 1

      chatlog_folder = "logs\chat\"

            - Appears to keep logs of all running chat communications on the server. 

            - I can specify chatlog_folder and and it writes the log to the correct location. 

 

Mission log:  

      mission_text_log = 1

      textlog_folder = "logs\txt\"

            - What data does this log keep track of?  

            - I can specify textlog_folder and it will NOT write to the correct location.   Am I using the right variable?

 

Game log:  

      gamelog = 1

            - What data does this log keep track of?

            - Where does it write the log, is there a location variable I can set like the other(s)?

 

Can I have different location(s) based off of multiple Dservers running on the same machine --- i.e. customizing inside the sds file like rcon?

If you make a copy of the gamefolder and run dserver.exe from different folders the logfiles are separated as the paths in startup.cfg and apparently also the hardcoded? ones are relative.
