I almost always use it when I do a major build because it is impossible to catch stuff as it flies by on the screen. You can invoke it for the duration of a specific command or you can just start it on your interactive terminal session and then stop it when you are finished with it. jerry > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There's an app somewhere in ports that will catch some programmable amount of a file (like maybe 1K bytes) and keep this amount as the file keeps writing in and out. That way you can easily catch the most important part only, and toss the rest. It'd be a nice project for anyone new to C, not too difficult. Alterntiavely, you could set it to toss all lines until it notices the work "error" (in upper, lower, or mixed case), whereupon, it switches to saving all. Would be a nice app, but it's there in ports already somewhere. For along time, used only tcsh, under the mistaken belief that you couldn't redirect stderr for piping, under a sh-like shell, but about 6 months ago, I found out how to do that.

When I run builds, I save rthe output. I normally do this in tcsh, so the command here is make |& tee makeout where the complete ooutput goes into the "makeout" file. The "&" there doesn't take it's normal meaning of throwing the task into the background, instead, what it does is to capture both the regular output plus the stderr output. If you don't use it, you'll get the listing UNTIL the error, and it won't register the error, so don't forget it, nor change it's placement. This can also be done in sh shell, but I'm not used to using the sh syntax for that (both piping and tossing the stdout with stderr), so if you need that, I will let someone else tell you how to do that. Be wary of the fact that, that makeout file's gonna be LARGE.

Which file can I find the error message that shows on the screen when I build my kernel?
Hi: I have make some changes to the kernel files and rebuild the kernel, but when I rebuild the kernel, it show some errors and stop rebuild. The question I want ask is that: Is there any file that store all these error message, If there is, where can I find it? Because there are too many errors occur, I can't see all the errors on the screen, if there is a file that store these error messages, then I can find all the errors and fixed them. Thanks!
