[SLUG] console messages
Hi all, I'm currently working on a machine without X which is connected to another via a crossover cable. The other machine goes up and down all day (by design) resulting in "eth1: link down" and "eth1: link up ..." messages all over my screen. Is there any way to stop this?

Re: [SLUG] console messages
Check your /etc/syslog.conf. You should have a line that looks like or similar, *.info; etc. /var/log/messages or alternatively, a line with /dev/console on the right most should be commented out. E.g. #kern.*/dev/console > Hi all, > > I'm currently working on a machine without X which is connected > to another via a crossover cable.

Also. some Redhat (and others?) systems have a kernel logging daemon klogd which will put messages above a certain configurable log level to the console.

I don't know whether it would redirect klogd stuff as well.

Re: [SLUG] console messages
If you want the messages readily available on the console & the machine has its own monitor (not a remote connection) It took me a few years to realise this.. multiple terminals without X Just open out a new virtual screen/terminal. Alt +F1 would most likely be the console Alt+F2 would be another screen/terminal. Alt+F3 would be another screen etc up perhaps Alt+F6 So you don't need X windows to have mutiple terminals.
