Description of Problem: "/sbin/rmmod -as" writes messages to console rather than via syslog, whether done via /etc/cron.d/kmod or manually. The -s switch is supposed to use syslog rather than the console for messages. The specific messages I am getting on the console are from "bttv0" and "i2c-core.o". (I can't cut-and-paste the full text, because the console and X are mutally exclusive.) I suppose the messages in question might actually be coming from the modules themselves rather than from rmmod, in which case this report should be moved appropriately. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): modutils-2.4.2-5 How Reproducible: appears reasonably reliable, but now known for certain Steps to Reproduce: 1. manually run "/sbin/rmmod -as" once or twice after using xawtv. or 2. use xawtv 3. log out and let the system sit for a day or three Actual Results: Messages about "bttv0" and "i2c-core.o" being unloaded and/or unregistered are printed to the console. Expected Results: Such messages should be sent via syslog. Additional Information:
They are almost certainly coming from the modules themselves.
Can you paste a message ? if I have the text I can silence it. (Note that I recommend removing the kmod script completely!)
