Redirecting errors to Serial Port

paragkalra · 11-30-2007, 04:49 AM

I have been getting some warnings while installing a software but the software gets installed and works properly

Warning messages are logged on the tty4 (fourth console) whereas the installation process runs on tty0 (first console).

I would like to redirect messages logged on tty4 to a serial port (ttyS0)
in order to catch kernel messages logged during installation phase and save
them in a file.

How can I do that?

How is the program choosing tty4 to output to? What is the program?

Extremely Sorry. There is slight change in the scenario. Actually I am installing SLES 10. It's getting installed on tty0 but the logs are getting generated on tty4. I want to redirect the logs to ttys0 i.e. serial port so that I can save them.

How can I do that?

Is there any way of redirecting kernel messages being displayed on tty4 during Linux (particularly SLES) installation to Serial Port i.e. ttys0 ?

Does anyone has any idea?
