how to stop the message on the console
Hi,

Sun Solaris. I am working on the console, I have pulled the network cable out. I am in the process of changing the IP address and few others thing. But this message comes every few seconds.

SUNW,hme0: Link Down - cable problem?
SUNW,hme0: Link Down - cable problem?


It's very hard to work on the server when I get this message every few seconds. Any one know how to turn this ON and OFF?

Are you in X?
In which case you open a console using command line:
Code:
xterm -C &

and work in another xterm window...

this is what I did. I updated /etc/syslog.conf
I put ## where I saw /dev/console after that reboot the system.
I am not getting the error message on the console any more.

Thanks.
