What about creating a script dmesg doing similar to the following (save for syntax errors) : if [ "$1" == "-s" ]; then dd if=/dev/klog of=/var/log/dmesg & sleep 1 kill $! else exec cat /var/log/dmesg fi Or to do the first condition if $1 is empty: if [ "$1" == "" ]; then exec cat /var/log/dmesg else dd if=/dev/klog of=/var/log/dmesg & sleep 1 kill $! fi Just my 5c! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
