Has anyone else had any luck getting /etc/init.d/boot to log its messages into /var/log/messages? As per suggestions from this group I have modified the line in inittab that executes /etc/init.d/boot to look like:
si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/boot 2>&1 | logger -is -p user.info -t /etc/init.d/boot I have tried several priority levels on user. but to no avail. I can tell that logger is working to some extent because these messages on the console are preceeded by the new tag My syslog.conf file looks like: # /etc/syslog.conf: syslogd(8) configuration file. # $Id: syslog.conf,v 3.3 1995/02/24 23:44:14 imurdock Exp $ # You have to use tabs here! auth.* /var/log/auth.log #cron.* /var/log/cron.log daemon.*;mail.* /var/log/daemon.log news.crit /var/log/news.crit news.err /var/log/news.err news.notice /var/log/news.notice local2.* /var/log/net.log user.* /var/log/messages *.=debug /var/log/debug *.=info;*.=notice;*=.warn;auth,cron,daemon,mail,news.none /var/log/messages *.emerg * # I like to have messages displayed on the console, but only on a virtual # console I usually leave idle. #auth.*;daemon.*;mail.*;news.crit;news.err;news.notice;*.=debug;*.=info;*.=n otice;*.=warn;cron.n one /dev/tty1 # The named pipe /dev/xconsole is for the `xconsole' utility.

What am I doing wrong here? The only messages I get in messages are from the kernel! Almost any help would be greatfully accepted. YHS, Dale
