Hi!
Some of my centos's servers (poweredge 850/ centos 4.3) are crashing for any reason, and so i wanna get screen (kernel) output afterward. Problem is when the server is crashed and the screen blanked, a keypress doesn't do anything at all. Here it is what i've tried _from a ssh session_ :
- setterm -blank 0 and many combinations. - "noacpi" boot option ...
Any ideas ?
Thanks !

put that in your init scripts, preferably /etc/rc.local
Or set up a serial console to another machine that will capture all the kernel msgs. I do that for problematic machines until I figure out what's going on.

Oh i understand... setterm should be invoqued by a father processus to make console herits from. :-O I forgot that !
Thank you.

You could also consider setting up a netdump server on the network the problem server sits on, if you have a suitable candidate.
