Hello all --
Recently, I'm seeing DOS line ends, ^M, on my /var/log/boot.log file. Honestly, I don't check this very often so I can't say exactly when this occurred. Is this just MY experience or are others seeing this also.
Additionally, boot/log seems very sparse. Is an old issue still in force on this?

​Should I get the updated script from CentOS Plus?
Thanks for any help.

Hello again, list.
Please disregard this for the time being. I got a personal response that pointed out the doing a cat on boot.log produced a specific correct format whereis I was used to using my gui editor to display log files. Using the "log viewer" utility also shows these non-unix line ending which I found annoying.
For those who are interested in additional boot.log settings, I found this page:
https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s2-sysconfig-init.ht...
from the old deployment guide but I'm sure these en variables are the same now -- well at least in the 6.x series.
