Hello fellow Linux users,
Every now and then on my non-graphical console-orientated Debian Squeeze system, some services see it fit to spill their juices all over what I am doing.
A message about a service stopping/starting/restarting prints at the location of my cursor ontop of whatever I was doing at that moment, forcing me to either redraw ( if the currently running application supports it ), background and then foreground what I'm doing or clear the screen if at the shell.
Common examples:
Code:
* Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd
* Restarting advanced system logger rsyslogd
How can I stop these messages appearing? Even better would be to send them to /dev/tty8 where I've configured rsyslogd to write.
Thanks in advance
Regards, William
