Well we do the same thing when needing to debug xcatd. Although we just usually comment out the two lines to see the information. Only for debug though. It is a good thing while developing or if you have a problem. I would not recommend on a production system.

Valletta 2-3/T12 Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (tie 293) 433-3102 From: Arif Ali <[email protected]> To: "Mailing list, xCAT" <[email protected]> Date: 08/18/2011 12:08 PM Subject: [xcat-user] xcatd logging/debugging Hi list, I was wondering if this change is a good idea or not, as I tend to make this change on most if not all of my installs so that i can get debugging information, or is the consensus that if debugging is required then make the relevant modifications for that purpose. --- xcatd.orig 2011-08-18 17:00:02.000000000 +0100 +++ xcatd 2011-08-18 17:00:29.000000000 +0100 @@ -198,8 +198,8 @@ xCAT::MsgUtils->message("S","Can't read /dev/null: $!"); die; } - open STDOUT, '>/dev/null'; - open STDERR, '>/dev/null'; + open STDOUT, '>> /var/log/xcat.log'; + open STDERR, '>> /var/log/xcat.log'; $0='xcatd'; $progname = \$0; if (! setsid) { -- Arif Ali catch me on freenode IRC, username: arif-ali ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.
