I am looking for a way of capturing console error messages (notices, warnings and panics) to a file (or at least a printer) such as the way BSD and XENIX do with dmesg. I have scoured the Bell Tech System Admin manuals and cannot find a clue as to whether there is an existing way to do this. The dmesg command cannot be found. I'd rather not reinvent the wheel. Does anyone have a solution to this? I have several ideas: 1. Obtaining a console driver to customize to send output to a file as well as the usual places. 2. Obtaining a console driver that can use a hardcopy terminal as a console instead of the monitor and keyboard. 3. Write a dmesg that works on SVR3. 4. Can /dev/contty be exploited somehow? There must be someone else who has had this same problem. If there is a way of doing this with the resources I already have with System V/386, please let me know what I'm missing via email. -- In-Real-Life: Keith Gregoire, Thalatta Corporation, (+1 206 455 9838) Domain: gregoire@Thalatta.COM Path: uw-beaver!uw-entropy!thebes!gregoire
