This is working for 2 or 3 decades at least since SVS. You could see the block of messages, like IEA101A Specify system parameters, inserted into Syslog some time after syslog was active. I believe, they have been reordered to appear now in correct chronological order. This is the same buffer as MTRACE, that you could look into from a (SA)-dump taken before Syslog was opened.

It appears that they are buffered and written to SYSLOG once JES2 comes up and SYSLOG is available. Given our small size, I don't know if this buffer is a "wrap around" and so might lose messages if there are a lot of them before SYSLOG is initialized. -- He's about as useful as a wax frying pan. 10 to the 12th power microphones = 1 Megaphone Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
