HTH I found that very helpful - thanks - even though I didn't ask the original question. Is there anything similar which will give the messages on shutdown? Patrick

You could probably coble something together using bootlogd, but you'd want the log saved to something other than /var/log/boot since it will get overwritten on the next boot. Try /var/log/shutdown. You will also want it to file everything before the script that umounts local fs (and hense /var). Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
