System console troubles

[Jenoe Falusi]

Hello,
after upgrading to hp/ux 11.0 and installing network node manager with several patches for it, system console seems to have troubles.
On the terminal attached directly to the system, if system has DISASTER events, this events are written to the console (screen).
The screen is not readable any more. Restart the workspace manager helps.

What's wrong with this, usually this output should be written to the console log file ?

Hi,

Check /etc/syslog.conf

Your error messages are redirected to /dev/console, redirect them to the log file instead.

Hello Jenoe,

you'll just have have one terminal window running with the "-C" option (for Console, of course) - then those messages are shown in that window, and not on the text console/background any more.

Hello,

thank you for help.
But its not solved until yet.
See attached syslog.conf: You will see, all messages are logged into files. The messages still appear on the console !
Somethings wrong where I don't know so please if you have another tip explain to me.

Thank you, merry X-MAS
Jenoe

Did you modify the /etc/syslog.conf file. If so then you will need to perform a kill -1 on the PID running the /usr/sbin/syslogd for the new setting to take effect.

Perform the following steps and send me the output.

1) ctrl b - gets you into the GSP.

2) return return (usually no login or pwd on GSP)

3) SL - service log

4) view log and send entry as to possible problem.

5) co - to get back to console.

6) Also attach copy of dmesg.

I think that with "terminal attached directly to the system" you mean a *graphics* 'terminal', i.e. a device able of running X/VUE/CDE/etc..

If so, then start a "hpterm -C &" or "xterm -C &" console *window* from your sessionetc file (.dt/sessions/sessionetc for CDE).

Now all console messages will go to that *window* instead of to the (ITE (Internal Terminal Emulator)) *display*.
