Does anyone know how to redirect console messages to a file on a 3b2/300 or 3b2/400? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. -- Trip Martin night@rpi.edu

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. This wouldn't get rid of all messages but you could edit /etc/inittab and change >/dev/console to a file. Be careful which ones you redirect. There may be a better solution but I don't know of one.

Modifying inittab is not the right answer either, as this won't get any of the daemon processes or kernel messages and the like. There is a console logging facility in the newer versions of UNIX (Sys V R3.2) that put ALL console output into a file, usually /usr/lib/conlog. If your UNIX has the file /boot/CONLOG it probably can run this. I have not set this up, but /dev/osm is the kernel access to the console log, and /etc/rc2.d/S80errstart is the boot-time script supporting it. Steve -- Stephen J.
