Yes, it would require me to constantly check some logfile. Which logfile that is, is not even documented. It might be /var/log/syslog when you look at the mcelog.service file. Lots of things are being logged there, and I usually don't look at that unless something isn't working. I could make something that greps the logfile for something mcelog might be logging, but what would I look for? And if this is so critically important, why is it set up in such a way that this vital information is never seen? -- Fedora 18 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
