Capturing dhcpd boot message
 

On startup, my box beeps when initializing dhcpd and displays some message. I would like to capture that message since it scrolls off to quickly. How do I do this? I can't find it in any of the /var/log files.

Thanks

try SHIGT+PAGE UP you can scroll back some screens.

My dhcp client messages do show up
in /var/log/messages ...

Depending on which distro you're using,
and which dhcp-client within that, it might
differ ...

try
grep -ri dhc /var/log/*

Usually you can also get the output of boot-
time processing from dmesg ... try
dmesg | less

Should also be in /var/log/boot

I agree with Tinkster. The first thing I would try would be:

dmesg | less

will work nicely displaying all boot messages and allowing you to scroll up / down viewing them. You could also just do a:

dmesg | grep *dhcp*
