I was referring to dmesg being a command which dumps the kernel message buffer.
However there are daily snapshots of dmesg output filed in cat'able files as
/var/log/dhcp.*. I thought there was a capture of dmesg from after the last
boot somewhere too. [man dmesg] Ah, that's in /var/run/dmesg.boot. Very useful
if your system has been up a while and you need to review what hardware and
drivers are loaded.
Although I suppose one could always do:
dmesg | cat
Unix is such a wonderful OS. :-)
