Hi Guys,

RHEL 4.4

I was reviewing an app failure on one of our hosts and I encountered this entry on syslog:

Feb 22 08:54:46 saturn-host rc: Starting start_server_daemon: succeeded

there's timestamp, saturn-host is the servername, rc is the linux rc wrapper script, "Starting" is on the script 'rc', start_server_daemon came from a routine in rc to list all rc.3 contents and loop on them.

i dont get where "succeeded" came from

its not from start_server_daemon script.

root# grep -i succeeded /etc/rc.d/rc
root#

root# grep -i succeeded /etc/init.d/functions
# Log that something succeeded
root#

I can modify the scripts involve and append -x to shebang line and then reboot, but i dont want to go as far as that.

Any ideas?

cheers,
Marc

I'm subscribing because I would like to know the answer myself.

I don't see where the rc scripts are logging anything via syslog. There's some package called rhgb-client which is allowing a GUI to show progress of what underlying processes are started, but from what I can tell, it doesn't log. It also doesn't have "succeeded" in the binary. My search through /usr/share/locale didn't find anything interesting (in either C, or en_* locales).
