Hi all,
Does anyone know how to force messages/errors on bootup to go to a file other than syslog? I've been reading through the syslog.conf man pages and i don't see any particular option that filters out messages that appear on bootup. Any ideas? Thanks! Mike

You can edit /etc/syslog.conf & put file location where you want to get these system messages. It is possible to forward these messages to other host as well.
