[Astlinux-users] boot logs and klogd

[Sebastian A. <sp...@sy...>]

Hello all,

I would like to be able to see the logs from when AstLinux boots.
*	The dmesg command just seems to read from a small buffer in memory
(dmesg -s SIZE doesn't seem to work) and there are no actual boot log files
that I can find, other than just a few messages in /var/log/messages.
*	I was thinking of making syslogd start earlier in the boot process.
However, if I am logging to an external syslog server with syslogd, does
that mean that syslogd has to start after the network, or will those UDP
packets just silently fail until the network comes up?  Will this even help
to log all the boot process?
*	I noticed that klogd is installed, but it is not set to run.
Normally (on other distributions of Linux), /etc/init.d/syslog incorporates
code to stop and start klogd as well as syslogd. Should it work it I either
put this code into /etc/init.d/syslog or create a new init script for klogd
on AstLinux?
*	Is there a better way to see the boot logs that I am missing?

Many thanks,

Sebastian
