ah for heavens sake, not the kernellog the initlog! Sorry, but this is a feature I've been missing to. =) Can you in bash script redirect output to two files? i.e. stdout to stdout AND boot.log, stderr to boot.log? And would this caputre the output of scriptes executed from this script? Hmm I will do some testing, I will post a patch later. /John -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
