Is there a way to generically suppress or redirect the information types of messages that the various services send to the console? We are using these machines in a retail environment and find that they create concern about whether they are having system issues.
TIA,
Mike
According to Redhat
Code:Setting the console log level
Use of the LOGLEVEL parameter in /etc/sysconfig/init to set the console loglevel is no longer supported.
To set the console loglevel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, pass loglevel=<number>' as a boot time parameter.
Robert,
Thanks! Did this and so far so good (no messages).
Regards,
Mike
You can either set the log level at the boot time or you can use rsyslog file to set the log level where the message can be redirected and which file it will be stored.
Using this daemon you can categorize messages and also set priority for the messages.
There are various message information types that are available
a: kern - kernel messages
b: mail - mail messages
c: cron - cron messages
d: info - informational messages etc
You can also set priority in the configuration
<FACILITY>.<PRIORITY>
Priority will be
debug
info etc
Please refer rsyslog file for this.
Best Wishes,
Glad this worked for you. I found this answer with a quick Google search.Quote:
