It's a security precaution. Maybe if you explained why you wanted to do it, we'd be able to help. > /var/run/dmesg.boot - but it just shows the hardware boot It shows the contents of the system message buffer immediately after the kernel boots. > /var/log/dmesg.today - seems like a copy of /var/run/dmesg.boot It should be the contents of the system message buffer at the time of the daily periodic(8) run. > /var/log/dmesg.eyesterday - seems to me like the dmesg -a output before last reboot... It should be the previous day's dmesg.today file.
