Read the man page on syslog. >for that I think a dotmatrix printer is the answer, but I >couldn't find any new dotmatrix printers for under $200. I also expect a dotmatrix printer is a reasonable device for this. So, either you pay the price of a dotmatrix printer, or you buy some other a device which is less ideal for this application, but which will cost less. Or you buy a used dotmatrix printer. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
