I hope this isn't a FAQ - i have been using FreeBSD for some years now.
My question: Where can i find a log of all the startup messages that
flash by so fast that i can't read them? Not the kernel messages, but
daemons that fail to start and such.
Type: dmesg or do a # more /var/log/messages
This only gives me the kernel messages, but not the messages from the
daemons (i.e. sendmail failed and stuff like that)
Edit /etc/syslog.conf and uncomment the console.info line so that is
looks like this:
# uncomment this to log all writes to /dev/console to /var/log/console.log
console.info /var/log/console.log
Then:
# touch /var/log/console.log
# chmod 600 /var/log/console.log
# chown root:wheel /var/log/console/log
# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid`
This will record all of the console output from syslog or the kernel,
as well as the boot messages you are interested in, the next time you
reboot.
