In the current version of Solaris, /dev/msglog is an alias for /dev/sysmsg. In future versions of Solaris, writes to /dev/msglog may be
directed into a more general logging mechanism such as syslogd(1M).
syslog(3C) provides a more general logging mechanism than /dev/msglog and should be used in preference to /dev/msglog whenever possible.

Hi all,
Am trying to figure out a way to display error in the boot script...
i tried ,
command 2>/dev/msglog
but that is not enough for me.
so i tried using this
exec < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1
But it doesnt work at all...
can anyone tell me if am making a mistake in the syntax?... (1 Reply)
/dev/zero can output 0's (null characters) endlessly. I am looking for a technique to output 1's (0xFF or 0b11111111) endlessly in a similar manner as /dev/zero.
The following dd statement writes 4 terabytes of 0's to the drive /dev/sdb. This dd statement does not cause any memory shortage.

My platform: Sun Solaris 10
I'm trying to write a script to generate different outputs for different syslogd states.
Is there any difference between "syslogd is enabled" and "syslogd is logging locally"?
Also, how do you know if syslog is logging locally?
Should I start looking in... (1 Reply)
