Hi all
I have the following questions
1/ do you know how to interrupt the console to capture the message when the system is in booting
2/ I use "top" to monitor the process to output the file. but the file is empty. Do you know why?
Thank you

try shift+page up
Otherwise you can seem them once its booted up by running dmesg as root

top uses curses to output stuff so its probably not the best thing to output stuff to files, although if you do 'top > /tmp/filename' it seems to work. Might be better to have a look at ps if you want to do this.
Hi tim
Thank you for your help
1/ shift+page up works
2/ For the top
- When top in procps version 3.2.0 the output file is empty?
- When top in procps version 2.0.17 The file is fine but the output is truncated eg: "/usr/sbin/htt" as follow Do you know how to have whole file eg: "/usr/sbin/httpd xxxxx"
Thank you again

Just use the ps command, eg. ps -efw. I don't think top is very good for trying to output stuff to a file.
