While I'm thinking of useful changes to SMF, can it capture all output sent to the console, directly, by services?
So if the startup scripts for a service do 'echo foo > /dev/console', can that be captured? And further to this, is it possible to generate a single output file of all of the stdout/stderr from services as they boot up? Although this can be something like a plate of scrambled eggs, it can be useful to have in a single place all of the output from services started (or attempted to start) at bootup, in an order that is roughly equivalent to that in which they were generated in. Yes, I've seen this mode of operation elsewhere but they only had a more developed SVR4 rc system, not SMF. Darren
