[I'm catching up on a bunch of FreeBSD mail since being out on vacation, so perhaps I've missed the essence of this thread..] I've also had the desire to capture the output produced when /etc/rc is run for all the reasons mentioned. I always thought that perhaps init would simply capture stdout on the other end of a pipe, and logically do the "tee" thing with it. In fact, couldn't init logically exec a sh /etc/rc | tee /tmp/rc-output when invoking /etc/rc? (Where to put the output would seem to be one of the more difficult choices since you don't start with a writable file system mounted anywhere..) Or perhaps init could capture the output on the end of a pipe and subsequently syslog it while it's echoing it to /dev/console. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
