Most of the warnings end up being wrong and it's just creating a massive log file. Anyway,I guess I have no choice because it will not run without it.

You do have a choice - either live with the massive error log and have trouble finding a real problem in among all the noise or else fix the problems in the script which produce the noisy warnings in the first place. I strongly favour the latter.

If you do not know how to avoid one particular warning, you can post it here as an SSCCE and the monks can point you in the right direction.

If your script produces warnings and you don't even understand what the warnings mean, consider using diagnostics, but only on your dev environment (otherwise your log file will only get even more massive!).

Good luck.
