Please, reconsider what I am saying in the statement above. IMHO, that
is really what you want to do . . .

Yes:
svi sysklogd stop
However, you really do *NOT* want to do this!
Look near the end of your /etc/syslog.conf -- is there something like
these?
*.emerg *
*.err |/dev/console
I'm not familiar with Eigerstein, so I don't know what the installed
default it; but, on Dachstein the default is the *.emerg line. That
line means that any messages of priority `emerg' or higher will go to
every local tty. The problem is, the only severity higher than emerg is
panic. My point here is that the underlying cause of this message is
probably important if it is showing up on your console.
Besides, even if this message is *not* important, shutting off syslogd
will shutdown most logging on your system. Logging is good. Logging
allows you to troubleshoot things when they go wrong. Things will go
wrong.
What do you think?

Dare to fix things before they break . . .
Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know. The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
