| Working in Solaris 8 environment and need to capture messages that come up during system boot. I know that not all messages are captured in /var/adm/messages or /var/log/syslog. So looking for some other facility that captures all messages generated during the boot process. Pointers? Thanks, Mike |

If you want them ALL (including the banner), set up a serial console, and save the output from that. -- Rich Teer, SCNA, SCSA, author of "Solaris Systems Programming" . * * . * .* . . * . .* President, * . . /\ ( . . * Rite Online Inc. . . / .\ . * . .*. / * \ . . . /* o \ .
