Message-ID: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net Hi all, I'm using buildroot v10.11 on an embedded system running Linux kernel 2.6.32.2. I installed some daemons wrote by me which are started at boot time by some /etc/init.d scripts of mine. These daemons use many syslog() to provide verbose debugging messages... however, for some reason, when I boot the system and cat /var/log/messages, I do not see any message. If I start manually the daemons, the messages are correctly logged to /var/log/messages... I think that this problem maybe because syslogd is startd AFTER all /etc/init.d scripts have been processed.. is that right? I tried to comment the lines: null::respawn:/sbin/syslogd -n -m 0 null::respawn:/sbin/klogd -n contained in /etc/inittab and then to add the S01logging script found in this patch: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-July/043828.html but I obtained the same results... (of course my etc scripts start with S90, S91, etc, so they should run AFTER S01logging...) Thanks for any hint! Francesco
