[arm-allstar] Disable Deletion of connectlog

[Michael Webb]

Doug,

Thank you for the quick response, and sorry for my delayed one.  Is there a
specific reason as to not keep a log locally on the SD card?  There are
several other logs that don't get deleted at reboot and with the small
amount of traffic on my node, I'm not concerned with file size or too many
read/writes to the SD card as I make monthly full image backups of the SD
card and compress them so I can quickly restore to a new card and be back
up and running.

Working with a friend who has more programming knowledge than I do, we came
up with a very simple log that is written to the home directory, and I've
created a button in Supermon that opens it but it is not as detailed and
clean looking of a log as smlogger is.  I would prefer to not have to
connect a USB drive to the Raspberry Pi, is there any other solution to the
connectlog being deleted upon reboot?
