Hi, I'm having an issue where if I have syslog output something to /dev/console, it comes back to syslog again as a "kernel:" message. I've verified that this is definitely something with /dev/console, since even if I do : valhalla# echo "STRAIGHT TO CONSOLE" > /dev/console I can : valhalla# grep "STRAIGHT TO CONSOLE" /var/log/spool Oct 21 16:12:07 valhalla kernel: STRAIGHT TO CONSOLE Is there a way from syslog to write to the console but NOT have it come back to syslog as a "kernel:" ? Thanks, Tuc
