Original Question: >>> Destry Miller/SF 11/09/01 12:04PM >>> We're having a problem with a lot of error messages being generated and sent to the console. Is there an easy way to have all the error messages redirected to a file instead of the console? We're running various Suns on Solaris 8. Thanks in advance and I will summarize, -destry I got lots of responses, almost all gave me some advice and pointed me to man syslog. I'm including the most complete response. I got one alternate response using console Xterm logging. -destry >>> Thomas Knox <Thomas_Knox@cch.com> 11/09/01 12:16PM >>> What kind of error messages? If they're logged via syslog, edit /etc/syslog.conf (make sure to use TABS, not SPACES). Determine which type of errors you are getting (kern.err, daemon.err, user.err, mail.err, etc), and add a line like this (using user.err as an example): user.err /my/user/log/file If there is anther line in the syslog.conf file that will also match, remove the type of error from that line. Then "kill -HUP pid" where pid is the PID of syslogd. Otherwise use 2>/my/error/file for commands and scripts. Tom >>> "Carsten B. Knudsen" <cbk@superusers.dk> 11/12/01 01:44AM >>> Hi Destry, An immediate Q&D solution that springs to mind is to run a console Xterm with logging, something like: # xterm -C -l -lf /var/log/console.log good luck, /Carsten Additional Thanks to: Thomas Lester Thomas Knox Ryan Larson David Foster Vishal P Dhuru Frank Smith ben at email.it Julian Simpson Michael Hill Jamie Jamieson Marcel Lambrechts Robert Reynolds Nick Hindley Carsten B.
