When collecting data from a Linux host for a problem report, I recommend using /usr/bin/script, a utility that opens a subshell that logs all console output to a file (default filename ./typescript) until you close the subshell. Put that file on a flash drive, and you have a verbatim shell session with no possibility of transcription errors, from which you can quote relevant portions in your help request. Transcription errors can lead to frustrating results for both help-seekers and those who aspire to assist them. (If I haven't added that 'script' tip to my and Eric Raymond's 'How to Ask Questions the Smart Way' essay, I will soon. Need to check.) -- Cheers, "It's easier to act your way into a new way of thinking Rick Moen than think your way into a new way of acting." [email protected] -- Jerry Sternin McQ!
