tty2 boot output - log file?
Is there a log file where the output that can be seen on tty2 during boot is kept?
I am after the BLAH BLAH BLAH [OK] BLAH BLAH BLAH [fail] |
NOt 100% sure it is what you seek, but try /var/log/dmesg.

The dmesg just showes kernel messages ... I think what the OP is looking for is a log of the service start-up. AFAIK this is not kept anywhere (at least on the distros I am familiar with), however the log files in /var/log will have the logging messages produced by each individual application.

Otherwise, as for the very early stuff I agree: if the OP wants stuff from PRE-dmesg it isn't as easy as one might like AFAIK. Maybe it's overkill, but a serial or USB (debug device) cable hooked to a (host) second computer would provide everything possible. On my machine, I modified all the startup scripts so that *everything* that happens gets logged; by default, there was much less logging. Perhaps we need to wait & see exactly what the OP is looking for :) Sasha |
Hi all,
I have had a look through the logs you have mentioned but I was looking for the simple [OK] [fail] output. It is just easier for me to see what exactly failed, because the logs can be a bit cryptic if they are for a service you haven't played with before. Looks to me from your response that this output isn't logged anywhere which is a shame, although GrapefruiTGirl mentioned modifying the logging. Could I get what I want...somehow? |
look the script /etc/init.d/functions
|
this script does not exist on my machine
|
Please add your distro name & ver to your profile, you'll get better help that way.
|
Done :) :)
