Just clearing out old bugs here. Messages logged with syslog before the /var filesystem is mounted read/write will not appear in /var/log/messages ; that is why we use initlog before this point in rc.sysinit. This problem does not appear to be current with syslogd-1.4.1-22 . |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT; DigExt) Description of problem: If an executable in called in rc.sysinit file. The executable logs 4 messages using syslog C function calls. But only two of these four messages appear in /var/log/messages file. The other two messages are lost. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sysklogd-1.4.1-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an executable with 4 calls to "syslog" C function. 2. Add call of that executable in rc.sysinit (just before LVM initialization step) 3.Reboot the system Actual Results: Opened /var/log/messages file and searched for all 4 messages from the executable. Only two of the messages could be found. The first and second message were found, that too on on a single line. The third and fourth message were lost. Expected Results: All the 4 messages from the executable should have been found in /var/log/messages file. Additional info: On Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1, it is observed that in the same situation, only the alternate messages appear in /var/log/messages. The first and third message appear but the second and fourth message is lost.
