Disable Logging Locally Within Rails Rake Task

Rails
1

I run rails 2.1 and I have a rails task that imports a lot of data and
it’s bloating my development log. I’d like to disable (or reduce)
logging during this particular task, but not globally. I’ve read that
there is a logger.silence block (http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/
pages/HowtoSelectivelySuppressLogging) that would do this. But within
a rake task, how do I reference the logger instance being used to call
the silence method?

Or is there another way to accomplish this?

Unless you’re doing something magic I would imagine it’s just
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.

Thanks, that was it. FWIW ActiveRecord::Base.logger also worked.
