Er, make sure you have a rule in your /etc/rsyslog.conf that outputs to the console, then use logger(1) to send the message, e.g.: (in /etc/rsyslog.conf:) local5.* /dev/console (in script:) logger -p local5.info This is message text should result in date-time hostname root: This is message text on the console. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
