a colleague showed me an embedded system he was working on that is
based on busybox-1.1.3, and was wondering why he wasn't getting his
DEBUG-level messages logged to /var/log/messages. while i was getting
ready to explain stuff like /proc/sys/kernel/printk to him, he got an
email from one of his co-workers telling him to:
echo "7" > /var/run/loglevel
killall HUP syslogd
or something to that effect. and it worked.
huh? where exactly does syslogd consult /var/run/loglevel? i
downloaded the source and poked around, and i don't see any reference
to that file. am i just being dense? why did that work? thanks.
