Messages to console 1

[stuartd]

Hi,

I have a Sparc4 work station with a terminal on term/a.

I am running a data input program, but system messages keep writing over the screen ("Last message repeated...., etc.) and moving the cursor, making the input difficult.

I have tried editing /etc/syslog.conf file (I assume that /dev/sysmsg is the line to edit), but I'm still getting messages.

Can these messages be disabled?

Did you stop and restart the syslogd process? I think you have to do that so the daemon knows there has been a change in the conf file.

The command to stop is: /etc/init.d/syslog stop.

To start: /etc/init.d/syslog start.

I did a reboot.

Can anyone confirm the line I am editing is the correct one?

Change this:
*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice /dev/console
To this:
*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice /var/adm/messages

Then, stop and start syslogd.
