syslogd and stderr
Hi are syslog and stderr inextricably linked?
I have a old laptop that i use as a dumb terminal to program with. atrd is playing up ,the kernel keeps complaining that it needs a re boot to fixthe prob(even after re booting) My real question is can i stop syslogd sending the messages in the mean time because it prints over what I am workig on so I have to save ,come out of the document and then go back into it each time. I know i should look into the artd thing but i'm busy with something else att and need a quick fix. thnks in advance. |
It sounds syslog is printing to your console? Have a look in /etc/syslog.conf for a line like the following, comment it out and restart syslog:
Code:
kern.* /dev/console |
lol.. nah..
i'll look at that another day..right now i just want to stick my head in the sand and mask the error from my console. anyway.its already commented out ?? strange. |
As root, run "dmesg -n 1" to block messages from the kernel as well (ie: iptables)
