Package: mcelog
Version: 0.8~pre-2
Severity: normal
the README.Debian says:
However, if you'd like to timestamp mcelog's output to get a very rough idea
of the time the MCE was logged, you can (...) pipe mcelog's output
through annotate-output
This suggests to replace "/usr/sbin/mcelog --ignorenodev --filter" by
"/usr/sbin/mcelog --ignorenodev --filter | annotate-output" in
/etc/cron.d/mcelog. This will not work at all:
1) as of annotate-output v1.2, it will fill /var/log/mcelog with
"started / ended at" entries every 5 minutes.
2) It will actually discard the mcelog output, as this example shows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo foo | annotate-output
13:54:40 I: Started
13:54:40 I: Finished with exitcode 0
What I do now is use "logger -t mcelog" instead of
"annotate-output". This has the side effect of sending the output to
syslog instead of /var/log/mcelog, though.
