Logger from rc.local seems to be working put I'll look into an init script. Never written one of those. Time to get out the books.

'logger' is pretty handy. Is available on other systems too. Following what David said, you will want the SYSLOG service up and running for 'logger' to have any effect. (According to design, the logged traffic would drop into oblivion if 'syslogd' is not running, so as to avoid lock-up or other bad things.) The dependency relationships are traditionally in comments at the start of each INIT script. 'systemd' changes the game. I won't waste time discussing that unless you are already suffering under its weight. -- R; <>< On Mon, Jul 1, 2013 at 2:05 PM, Bauer, Bobby (NIH/CIT) [E] <baue...@mail.nih.gov> wrote: > I did not know of the logger command.
