Messages in /etc/rc.log

[Bob Manocchia]

I'm getting the following messages written to the /etc/rc.log file just about every minute. Anyone know what they are?

I've attached the last few lines of /etc/rc.log

Thanks

Normally, after the system starts up, rc.log should be closed and should not grow every minute. Something in your startup sequence, did not finish running due to the error condition, for which you are receiving messages and trying to start every 60 seconds or so, albeit unsuccessfully.

See the beginning of these messages and you should be able to see a startup script in the form of

/sbin/rc?.d/S123scriptname

which should give you the idea what could not start and you need to debug this script to see the reason for failure.

hope this helps

Thanks to both of you. I'll keep a close eye on both.
