*I'm* not the one with the cediag problem. That's someone else. I'm just asking about monitoring the messages file. I'm "researching" it by asking here. My budget is $0. I'm hoping there's an obvious solution that's part of OpenSolaris. I found System Log Viewer, although it gives lots of error messages when started up. I guess that's the right answer once it works. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
