Actually, these end up in /var/log/messages in a vanilla system (*.notice). You can modify /etc/periodic/security/700.kernelmsg, by using: fgrep 'kernel: ' /var/log/messages 2>/dev/null | where it says: dmesg 2>/dev/null Or more prescise: fgrep 'your.host.name kernel: ' /var/log/messages This will give you timestamps with the output. I can't really think of anything that does end up in dmesg and not in /var/log/messages, but I'm sure there are some. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
