Hello,
  linux 3.16.7-21-desktop x86_64
  suricata 2.0.7

  Suricata appends cumulative statistics to <stats.log> at intervals
defined in <suricata.yaml>. The default interval value of 8 seconds
means the file grows quickly.
  What is the reason for such frequent updates?
  Is there a way to prevent the data being appended? I.e., overwrite
the file every time?
